Hi guys, I am in a fight with my just assembled K3. I have gone through all the steps, and everything worked. However, I could not get the sub-receiver to receive anything --- just noise.
So I figured I would put that aside for awhile and try transmitting into a dummy load. I had already run the TX gain Calibration steps at 5watts and 50 watts, both with no problem. I found that though I I can hear my audio (sounding good) in the XMIT Monitor, I had little to no indication of RF out, either on the rig's meter or an external meter. So I reran XMIT gain calibration with this result: OS Version 6.1 Build 7601 Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2 K3 MCU revision 04.67. RS-232 speed 4800 bit/s. Starting 5 watt calibration Calibrating at 1.900 MHz Calibration power settled at " 0.0 W ;" Elapsed time: 5 seconds Tx Gain calibration failed because transmit power did not reach the expected value I saved my configuration, then did a reset. The result was the same. I reloaded my configuration file, result the same. The 50 watt test gives a similar error. No smoke by the way. What have I done? Tnx de Brian W3BW *Brian F.
