K3 Utility Transmit Calibration Gain failure

What factors might result in the K3 Utility Transmit Calibration Gain failing for both 5 w and 50 w calibration?
I have tried two different dummy loads on Antenna 1. The K3 automatic tuner gets a 1.0/1 on the dummy load for all bands including 15m, 12m, 10m, and 6m.

Problem solved. Thanks for the responses.
I used the manual TX calibration procedure and it worked just fine.

I had problems as well. I used my work laptop with Windows 8.1 and it
worked fine. I think there are issues with Yosemite. On Thu, 28 May 2015, Jim Hooper wrote: > Problem solved.

I did my TX cal with a Mac running OS X 10.10.3
(Yosemite): No problem. Phil W7OX On 5/28/15 5:05 PM, Hisashi T Fujinaka wrote: > I had problems as well. I used my work laptop > with Windows 8.1 and it > worked fine.
