RF Gain Calibration Error

I was going through the RF gain calibration procedure using V1.2.8.25 and
XG2 on 40m. Main receiver seemed to go OK but when switching to sub I got a
HUGE blast in the left ear piece. I continued anyway and got the following
error:

RFG Calibration Error
DSP Command response did not arrive.

MCU 4.12
FPF 1.13
DSP1/2 2.6

left ear still ringing...

Anyone else see this?

Re: RF Gain Calibration Error

Please use the current K3 Utility version. It fixes the no response issue.

Re: RF Gain Calibration Error

Just spent a few minutes retrying everything in the hopes that I missed
something.

No go.

Same proper completion of Main RF gain cal, same huge blast when switching
to Sub followed by error message when pressing "Calibrate" button.

Any ideas?

SN 1210, most recent firmware (4.12, 1.13, 2.60), Win7/64, KUSB (FTDI
based), everything else seems to work fine, e.g. test comms, loading
firmware, running K3 memory Editor, HRD v5.

Re: RF Gain Calibration Error

Jim,

For what it is worth, did this recently with utility version 1.2.12.28
and WIN-XP. K3 firmware 4.03. Real RS232 serial port. Main and subrx
calibration worked just fine.
