This was a problem (i.e. not saving the RF Cal constants) with the Windows Utility last September which was corrected in an October update of the utility. I have no idea about the Mac Utility but your description sounds identical. If you have an older version of the utility, try using that. 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/RF-gain-calibration-tp6778114p6778825.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
