Less PWR on 160m!

Kurt Wiksten
I am assembling my new K3 with S/N 2361
I am finished exept KPA3 100W Option.
Now performing the Configuration and Calibration tests everything seems to be working just fine except when I
come to Low-Power (5W) TX Gain Calibration!
Switching through the bands, bypassing the ATU, with a connected dummy-load to ANT1
something seems wrong with 160m
 
    on 1.820 KHz I get PWR-reading of 2,2W and an error msg ERR TxG
    on 1.900 KHz I get PWR-reading of 5.0 W but still an error msg ERR TxG
    on all the other bands I got 5,0W and no errors
 
Is something wrong or is this normal??
However I want to work with full pwr also on the lower part of 160m.
 
Is there a way to correct this situation or what can I do??
I would very much appreciate an answer from someone, before I finish the assembly process with the KPA3.
