Hello all, Just installed the KPA3 100 watt PA into my K3. While running through the TX Gain Calibration program in the K3 Utility I received an error.
Did the 5 watt cal no problem, but when it was doing the 50 MHz calibrate the K3 shut off and displayed the error below in the K3 Utility window. Thinking this an aberration, I attempted 3 more times, each time the K3 shuts off during the 50 MHZ cal period. I used my nifty Elecraft W1 power meter to measure RF, on all bands 50+ watts, the 5/6 LEDs on the W1 were present on all bands, including 50 MHZ, as the K3 Utility runs the RF test on the 50 MHz, the K3 shuts off. I just upgraded to the new firmware before adding the KPA3, not sure if this is related to that or not. Suggestions? ERROR MESSAGE FROM K3 UTILITY FOLLOWS at 24.930 MHz Calibrating at 29.000 MHz Calibrating at 52.000 MHz StartTune: Unexpected response '' to 'TQ;'.
