K3FW5R04 problems?

[Elecraft mailing list]

HI

Install beta version K3FW5R04 and low watt in some bands. I went back
and put K3FW5R01 and became normal again.

I had the same problem.  You must run the TX Gain Calibration using a 50
ohm dummy load after loading FW 5.04

Alfredo,

In some cases, you have to run TX Gain Calibration after installing beta
5.04.
This is a bug in that beta release, and will be corrected in a
subsequent beta.
If you have memories previously stored, recalling them can upset the
work of doing the gain calibration because the old memories contain gain
settings.

Wait until the next beta to arrive.

Looks like the overdrive protection is a little too aggressive. We'll have a new firmware release next week that corrects this.
