Ted,

The KAT3 must be bypassed to run the TX Gain Calibration. You need to have a dummy load that is 50 ohms up through 54MHz (SWR 1:1).

Contact Elecraft support before taking it in. They will request an RSA number from sales. Wait until you have received the RSA number and information before taking it in.

Sorry for the bother Don,

I'm 2 hours from Elecraft. I should be able to walk in my radio for repair. Ted

Is that "TX Test" instead of "text test"?

You should not put the K3S into TX TEST mode when doing the TX Gain
Calibration.  TX TEST is a condition where everything in transmit works
*except* there is no RF output.  TX TEST is set ON/OFF by holding the
right side of the MODE button.

Use the TUNE button when doing the TX Gain Calibration manually.
