Just putting the finishing touches on my K3/100 build. What a treat. I loved puttin this thing together so far. I got thru the 5 watt Tx gain just dandy.
I CANNOT get her to perform the High power gain calibration. I start at 160 meters as instructed. Whether by manual means or by using the K3 utility, as soon as I hit tune (maybe a second later) the whole shootin match shuts down. The swr must go up too high.
I've got it tapped into an MFJ-250 versaload. The old gallon can and the oil level is up there. It just isn't calibrating. It doesn't like something when it gets a whif of 50 watts. I tried about 20 watts into a 20 watt
DL-1. Same thing. Something just isn't right.
Any suggestions where to start looking? I have a feeling it's something simple. Who knows?
