Edd:  Using the Utility for this process can have problems.  I did it 
manually on each band.  K6XX also suggested to to it this way.

Connect a dummy load to the K3 output.
Set the PWR control on the K3 to exactly 5w
Set CONFIG: TUN PWR to exactly 5w
Hold TUNE for 2-3 seconds.  Tap it again
Repeat the process at 50w
Reset TUN PWR to other than 5 or 50.  I use 25
Reset PWR in the K3 to the usual 100w setting
Repeat everything above on each band.
