K3 1 mW tx calibration fails

Pierfrancesco Caci

Hello,
I'm trying the 1 mW tx calibration and it fails like this:

Elecraft K3 Utility for Linux Revision 1.13.4.15
K3 MCU revision 04.81. RS-232 speed 38400 bps.
Starting 1 milliwatt calibration.
Calibrating at 1.900 MHz
Calibrating at 3.750 MHz
IsSamplingComplete: Unexpected response 'DB 2.08 MW;' to ''.
Calibration power settled at ' 2.08 MW;'
1 milliwatt calibration failed.
Elapsed time: 25.2 secs

Any clues?

The dummy load I've connected is flat at 51 Ohm all throughout the
range (tested with miniVNA).

Pf

Solved. For those checking the archives, it was an outdated k3util,
upgraded that and all went good.
