Have you completed the Calibration Procedures section of the owner's manual? These steps aren't optional.
If you haven't, perform the Synthesizer Calibration first, then the Transmitter Gain Calibration which can accomplished fairly quickly with the K3 Utility. See the Configuration Tab, "Calibrate Transmitter Gain" button and the K3 Utility Help page "Transmitter Gain Calibration". You'll need to connect a dummy load to one of the K3 antenna connectors for this calibration. If you've done all these steps, there's a different issue that probably deserves an e-mail to K3Support 73 de Dick, K6KR -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeff Wandling W7BRS Sent: Saturday, February 07, 2009 11:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] K3 ERR TxG Just tuning up a new amplifier, less than 10W. Previous to this (minutes) running fine barefoot. Have K3/100/KAT3 Symptoms: During auto-tune, instead of showing SWR it shows "--", and 0.0 W output in VFO B. Also, after holding TUNE, the VFO B reads "ERR TxG" Focusing on the K3, the manual says to contact Elecraft about ERR TxG, which I have done. But in the mean time, what else can I try? The manual says not to adjust anything.. I'm sort of stuck.. If this has happened to you, what did you do for resolving the problem?
