Fwd: ERR TXG Message es tnx

[Rajiv Dewan, N2RD]

Seems like you got the TX GAIN error while doing the initial power  
calibration.  That is what I had.

Here is what did it for me.  (Greg's suggestion on checking REF CAL).

Turn the rig on and wait at least 15 minutes for he reference  
oscillator to stabilize.  Waiting is important.  My reference  
oscillator moved by 19KHz in the first 15 minutes.  I have the  
optional TCXO installed.  Perhaps, you do too.

After that, first do the REF CAL with WWV.
Then re-do the VCO Cal.
Followed by TX calibration.

Hope this works for you,
Raj
