Sorry about the empty message. Not sure what happened.
Wanted to close the loop on this. Thanks to those that responded off-list.
I was running MCU 1.57 firmware which is where I was seeing high current
warnings. I hadn't noticed the changes in MCU 1.61 but just upgraded to
MCU 1.79 and can now complete the calibration. All good now!

Similar issue here for a while.
When I first built the KX3 it calibrated out using the KX3 utility
fine. Several months later (Summer 2013) I was at the bench and
re-ran the calibrations using a power supply and dummy load. Cal
failed on 10m with High Current. I upgraded firmware and checked
everything I could think of including doing the calibrations
manually. Called Elecraft support to discuss and decided I should
check all mechanical connections inside the KX3. I disassembled and
tightened everything. Still no luck to date with the calibration
above 10M. Luckily I don't operate the KX3 on 10/6m much, so living
with a 5W limit is tolerable. Although a solution would be nice.
