You are trying to maximise the signal getting through that tuned circuit on a system that is periodically trying to adjust the power to match the demanded power and which has an absolute maximum power that it can output, and may overheat if you demand a high power with limited drive. As you tune the circuit, the power will increase, but, after a while, the firmware will decide that it is no longer 2 W and try to compensate. Note that you are not calibrating the power at this stage, you are maximising the gain. > On page 78 it refers to HiCur message.
