Problem solved. Turned out failure of the 1 mW test was caused by a defective dummy load used at the XVTR-OUT connector for the test.
Thanks for the many quick/detailed/in-depth responses (some by off-list responses); fortunately this was a self-inflicted issue, unrelated to the K3 at all. 73 Dave WB0GAZ [email protected] > Message: 13 > Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 17:12:29 -0600 > From: david feldman <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] New K144XV/KXV3A - problems on 2M - 1 > milliwatt calibration ERR TXG and 'Unexpected response "DB 0.56 MW; " > to "DB; " State 153' > To: <[email protected]> > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" > > > Partially fixed - I had set XV1 ADR to TRN1 instead of INT TRN1. > > Once I changed that, I found many problems corrected - I was able to set the > two offset frequencies, I hear the relay switching between band segments, and > I am now able to receive on 2M. > > However, I repeated the calibration using the K3 utility and I still get this > message: > > 5 watt calibration succeeded > IsSamplingComplete: Unexpected response "DB 0.52 MW;" to "DB;" State 153 > 1 milliwatt calibration failed > > and after the calibration is done, I see the following on the display. > > ERR TXG > > How do I interpret this message? > > I'm much closer now thanks to the quick help! > > 73 Dave WB0GAZ [email protected] > **************************************** _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/210850553/direct/01/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
