Hi Jim, Are you by any chance running the RF gain calibration with the Linux or Mac version of the K3 Utility? An earlier release of the Mac version and the current release of the Linux version seem to have some problems with RF gain calibration. Everything seems to go right during and immediately after the calibration procedure, but once you turn the rig off and back on, you get reduced gain and the s-meter doesn't go full scale at min RF gain (as Wes described.) That's not exactly the symptom you described, but I don't know what else might be messed up in this case.
Anyway, my point is that if you're using a Mac or Linux machine to do the RF gain calibration, you might want to try it with a Windows machine to see if it fixes your problem. 73 -- Joe KB8AP On Dec 23, 2009, at 7:19 AM, Jim Byers wrote: > Wes, > > The s-meter indications are really no more than a nuisance.
