Greg-
ERR TXG problem resolved. The problem was the offset on the FL1 filter...I had it set for .86 rather than -.86. Once that was changed, everything went like clockwork on the Transmitter Gain Alignment. Thanks to you and so many others for your helpfulness. 73 es HNY, Cary -----Original Message----- From: Greg [mailto:[hidden email]] Sent: Tuesday, January 01, 2008 7:19 PM To: H.

Please also check that all the coax connectors are fully seated in the correct sockets. I'll do that after I eat some supper.... What filter do you have setup for TX and what slot is it in? Is it setup for all bands? 2.5 and it is FL1, all bands Greg -----Original Message----- From: H.

Page 46/47 of the manual. Set power to 5W and hold TUNE for a couple seconds on ALL BANDS. Then, if you have the KPA3 installed, you need to do the same for ALL BANDS at 50W. Let me know how it goes. 73 Greg AB7R -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]]On Behalf Of H.

I just did the Transmitter Gain calibration and get an error message - ERR TXG - on all bands 160-6. So after passing all the tests/checks during the build, I seem to be alignment challenged Even more frustrating is the detail on the error message in the book says "it could affect one or two bands (how about ALL?) and indicates a problem with band pass filter alignment or one of the low pass filters. Could one of the J-pin connectors be the first place to look? BTW, the good news is the receiver in my K3 is absolutely fantastic! One day, it'll all come together...

FB Cary...glad you got it. But....Now you should recheck your Reference
Oscillator callibration.....It may be off due to the filter offset you had. 73 -- Happy New Year and enjoy the rig. Greg -----Original Message----- From: H.
