" Those loading rev. 5.10 (or later) for the first time must re-do the 50-Watt gain calibration step on all bands.Once this has been done, there is no need to do it when loading future firmware releases.

When I restarted the radio after the upload, the following problem occurred: When I press the TUNE button, the radio shows about 8 watts of power. If I turn the power control up, the display defaults back to 8 watts. In the config menu I have the tune power set to 20 watts. I reloaded the firmware to make sure there wasn't a glitch in the loading. The same problem still occurs. The only other troubleshooting I did was to change the TX ALC (in the config menu) to "OFF" When I tune up with the TX ALC off, I can get full power out from the radio, so I assume that I do not have a component failure problem. Has anyone experienced this or know of any settings which I may have inadvertently changed? 73 de K6SBA David in Santa Barbara, CA ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
