K3 Setting 1.00 mw with KXV3 for XV144

[K8RS]

Group,
          I don't seem to have the steps by which one sets the KXV3's output to 1.00 mw for use with XV144..  
          Here is what I've tried: (1) Set Band to 28 MHz. (2) Set CONFIG to TEST in KVX3, (3) Set power to 1.00 mw, (4) Hold TUNE.  After a moment, the display changes from 1.00 mw to 0.84 mw and when I tap Xmit I get ERR TXG message.
          What am I doing wrong?  Has the firmware changed the procedure?  Need some direction.

Why are you setting the band to 28 MHz? You should have set up the transverter band first. If you had you would presumably have 144 on your display and not 28.

It appears from what you have indicated you are telling the K3 to transmit 1mW on 10m from the normal antenna rather than to use the KXV3.

If that is not the case, then perhaps you have the fault I had, which was the RF Choke on the transverter power detector board not being soldered properly.
