Could be a burned trap on the KAT3 (most likely). Just jumper the coil, L10 and it will bypass a burned capacitor. The trap was found to be redundant. Make sure 6m is on the correct antenna not 2. In TUNE, does it really have High SWR? Set ATU to BYP for any tests using dummy load. Make sure

Other than using a computer, is there a menu item where the tx calibration values can be seen? Tha manuals are pretty much assuming that you have a computer and still have the one that you did the calibration on. Chuck Jack Hawley KE9UW Sent from my iPhone, cjack > On Apr 5, 2020, at 7:24

Jim, If I am not mistaken, if the K3 Utility TX Gain calibration fails on any band, no calibration information is stored in the K3. If you do it manually, it will save on a band by band basis. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/2/2020 9:12 AM, Jim Spears wrote: I am helping a friend upgrade an older

I am helping a friend upgrade an older K3/100 (s/n 798) after he recently acquired it from estate of a SK. I have brought firmware forward one or two versions and installed the KIO3B board set. The radio has main RX only and the KSYN3A upgrade. It does have the KANT3 antenna tuner. I ran
