K3 Transmitter Gain Calibration fails

[dl2ki]

Hello,

after updating the firmware to MCU version 5.10 the Transmitter Gain Calibration fails.
The error message is:

Elecraft K3 Utility for Linux Revision 1.14.10.24
K3 MCU revision 05.10. RS-232 speed 4800 bps.
Starting 5 watt calibration.
GetTunePower: Unexpected response '?;' to ''.
5 watt calibration failed.
Elapsed time: 6,0 secs

The same with the 50W Calibration.

Where is the problem?

Hello again,

after restoring the backup-configuration the Transmitter Gain Calibration works now.

I don't know, but a power reset of my radio and running the calibration
again worked as expected.

I'm getting all sorts of errors from the Mac utility, but if I use a
Win8 laptop I have no issues at all.
