Transmit Gain Calibration Failed After KSYN3A Installed

[Michael Raskin]

I KNOW this is cockpit error (it always is) so I’m hoping someone can tell be what I am doing wrong.  I just installed the two KSYN3A synthesizer boards in my K3 main and sub and successfully upgraded firmware to 5.14, and performed the installation check:  SYN1 OK and SYN2 OK.  When I tried to do the xmit gain calibration at 50 watts, this is the message I received:  “Xmit gain calibration failed because transmit power did not reach the expected value.  50 watt calibration failed.”  I even tried it at 5 watts and still didn’t work.  Yes, I cycled K3 off and then on after firmware upgrade.

I had a similar fail message and found that my filters were not set up
properly. I did not have the correct filter specified for transmit. The rig
produced no output. Maybe your filter setup got messed with.  Does your
transmit work otherwise?
