[K3] problem with Transmitter Gain Calibration

kj4raq




Problem:

 



The transmitter gain will not calibrate. Receive an error code:

 



Starting 5 watt calibration

Calibrating at 1.900 MHz

Calibration power settled at " 0.0 W ;"

Elapsed time: 6 seconds

Tx Gain calibration failed because transmit power did not reach the expected value

5 watt calibration failed



Radio is a new build. Checking out at low power. Installed the 100 watt power amplifier, then removed the amplifier to test at low power per book instructions. I have reinstalled the PA jumper block for all test runs.



The radio will not receive Hz filter and it is properly configured.



Is there anything else I need to do to get back to low power configuration?


Warren, KJ4RAQ

You could try doing it manually to  "jump-start" it.  You have to do
each band separately.
At least you could try that, and if still not successful, call support
tomorrow (after 8AM California time) and they will walk you through the
setup and/or assist with your problem.
