Hi, Bah! Someone got me confused. I WAS trying to do the RF Gain (not RX or TX). Anyway. There is a bug with the Mac version of the K3 Utility. I dusted of my old POS Windows laptop, fired it up, updated the K3 Utility and waited the hour+ it needed to update Windows 10. I was able to perform

Sorry, Typo, I am trying to do the RX (not RF) calibration. My bad. I tried a different USB cable and my K3s Utility was out of date so I updated that but there was no change. Still have the same error. /randy > On Jun 4, 2020, at 3:45 PM, Nr4c wrote: > > Exactly what are you trying to do?

Exactly what are you trying to do? The RF GAIN Calibration is done with the transmitter and a “Dummy” load. No need for the XG3. Look in manual around page 52. Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Jun 4, 2020, at 4:57 PM, Randy Diddel wrote: > > Hello again, > > I sent this message a

Hi David, I will try a different USB cable although I am using the brand new one that came from Elecraft with the XG3 which arrived a few days ago. I will check the k3 Utility version. Thanks for the response! 73 K5RHD /randy > On Jun 4, 2020, at 3:23 PM, David Fleming wrote: > > Hi

Hi Randy, You are using an older revision of the K3 Utility. The first thing I would try would be to download the most current revision of the Utility (1.19.9.6) and see if that solves the problem. If this doesn’t help, I would suspect that your usb/serial link between your Mac and the K3s may

Hi all, I am trying to do the RF Calibration test using my new XG3. I am getting the error below. I have all firmware up to date on the K3s and the XG3. I even tried reloading the firmware on the K3s just to see if that worked. Of course turning it off and back on again did nothing either.
