I’m not operating Field Day this year so this is not a Field Day emergency but I’d still like to get it resolved. I’ll ask here before I call Elecraft next week.
I upgraded from FW 5.01 to 5.29 this morning. I read in the release notes that if installing FW 5.10 or higher, you should perform the 50 W Tx calibration. Well, I did, about three times. It failed all three times. The first time it failed, I got “ERR TXG” message. This was at both 5 W and 50 W. I shut down the transceiver, turn the p/s off, waited about 10 seconds and tried again. The second and third times (no transceiver reboot between these tries), I just got a calibration failed from the K3 Utility. This was on both 5 W and 50 W. My load is connected to ANT1, but I noticed the utility switching ANT ports during the process. Hmm… I may try this on my Windows VM. Until Elecraft gets back in and rests a bit from Field Day, would I be safe to just reload what I had and try to calibrate with *that* FW if the Windows version of the utility doesn’t fix it? 73, Joel - W4JBB ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
