Milliwatt meter calibration for K3

VE3WDM
Good afternoon all, I have the Elecraft K3 (not K3S) and was wondering if you can do the Milliwatt meter calibration with the K3 utility?

Mike,

I am going to assume you are referring to the TX Gain Calibration -
which can be done using K3 Utility.

If you are instead referring to the Wattmeter calibration, then refer to
the manual - that cannot be done with K3 Utility.  You can calibrate the
K3 wattmeter to any wattmeter you have and can trust its readings.  The
K3 will then be as accurate as your external wattmeter.
If you have an accurate RF Voltmeter, it will be more accurate than the
external wattmeter.  Adjust as indicated in the K3 manual.

73,
