K3-Very low sensitivity and tx gain calibration failure

OE5CSP-Chris
Got some very good hints but the sensitivity on all bands is still far too low and I still can´t calibrate the tx gain.(low power)
Maybe there is a problem with the ATU, because when I hit the Ant button the K3 says NO ATU (ATU set to AUTO)and I can´t change the antenna terminal...

I had this problem too but usually what it is is simply the fact that
you didn't power cycle the radio after setting the ATU to bypass for the
first time in the config menu.
