K3 s/n 8xxx won't do 50 W TX gain calibration

briancom
It's been a bit since I've done this.

It does the 5 watt calibration OK.

It then goes to the 50 watt calibration menu.  Hitting next doesn't do
any calibration but instead brings up the 1 mW calibration menu.

K3 with new synthesizers:  FW 5.57/1.26/2.88/2.88

Only thing I can recall happening since the last time it worked was
upgrade to 5.57 et al.

????

Brian,

I think that may be a K3 Utility "problem".
It has the capability to skip any of the gain calibration ranges.  Try
again and observe all the buttons on each screen.

Re: K3 s/n 8xxx won't do 50 W TX gain calibration

Dick Dievendorff-4
There is a CALIBRATE button press required to perform the calibration on
each page. "Next" moves to the next page, whether or not you've done the
calibration on the page you're leaving.

We need the ability to perform just the 5, 50, or 1 mW calibration without
having to perform calibrations at other power levels. I can't use "Next" to
imply "calibrate and advance".
