Re: New K144XV/KXV3A - problems on 2M - 1 milliwatt calibration ERR TXG and 'Unexpected response "DB 0.56 MW; " to "DB; " State 153'

[david feldman-2]

Partially fixed - I had set XV1 ADR to TRN1 instead of INT TRN1.

Once I changed that, I found many problems corrected - I was able to set the two offset frequencies, I hear the relay switching between band segments, and I am now able to receive on 2M.

However, I repeated the calibration using the K3 utility and I still get this message:

5 watt calibration succeeded
IsSamplingComplete: Unexpected response "DB 0.52 MW;" to "DB;" State 153
1 milliwatt calibration failed

and after the calibration is done, I see the following on the display.

ERR TXG

How do I interpret this message?

I'm much closer now thanks to the quick help!

You look at page 69 in the Elecraft K3 Owners Manual

Problem solved.

Turned out failure of the 1 mW test was caused by a defective dummy load used at the XVTR-OUT connector for the test.

Thanks for the many quick/detailed/in-depth responses (some by off-list responses); fortunately this was a self-inflicted issue, unrelated to the K3 at all.
