Mike (and all who have sent replies on and off reflector) - thank you. I should have been more precise in my note. The firmware I'm using:
MCU 05.33 FPF 01.23 DSP 02.86 Utility 1.15.6.29 Since the original posting I have reloaded the utility and all firmware. No change - still no RF out and calibration fails with 0Watts message. Synths check out OK and KXV3B is enabled. MCU 05.33 was released Friday so is a potential source of the issue. I could not find a way to roll back to an earlier MCU release to check that out. 73, David G3WGN From: Mike Harris-9 [via Elecraft] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 16 August 2015 17:24 To: David Aslin G3WGN <[email protected]> Subject: Re: K3 TX calibration fails after KXV3B and SYN3A upgrade Make sure you have the latest version of the K3 Utility installed. It is version 1.15.6.29 I had an RX gain cal issue when I installed the new synths and the KXV3B which was resolved with the latest Utility. Apparently there have been some timing changes.
