ERR TXG in 5W calibration mode

Julius Fazekas n2wn
Just now updating an older K3 with 5.14 using an old winXP machine. The 50W cal went as expected, the 5w cal gives me an error message: ERR TXG. starting on 160. During calibration it only reaches 3.3W at 1.1:1 SWR. I can go an adjust to 5w and it reads 1.0:1 when using a manual key. Tried the calibration again at this point and it made it through 160 and hung on 3.750 MHz, same readings and issue.

I can set the rig and run CW fine @ 5w. calibration doesn't work. Haven't tried going back to the old firmware, but see not reason the new FW shouldn't work. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Julius

make sure to use a recent K3 Utility.
