Seems like you got the TX GAIN error while doing the initial power
calibration. That is what I had.
Here is what did it for me. (Greg's suggestion on checking REF CAL).
Turn the rig on and wait at least 15 minutes for he reference
oscillator to stabilize. Waiting is important. My reference
oscillator moved by 19KHz in the first 15 minutes. I have the
optional TCXO installed. Perhaps, you do too.
After that, first do the REF CAL with WWV.
Then re-do the VCO Cal.
Followed by TX calibration.
Hope this works for you,
Raj

Carey. You still need to do the TX Gain calibration. That's what is
causing your error. Page 46/47 of the manual. Set power to 5W and
hold
TUNE for a couple seconds on ALL BANDS. Then, if you have the KPA3
installed, you need to do the same for ALL BANDS at 50W.
Let me know how it goes.

The reference oscillator is now aligned with WWV - thanks to N0SS,
W3FPR,
DJ7MGQ, and AD7FZ for responding so quickly - Tom talked me through it
thankfully.
I just did the Transmitter Gain calibration and get an error message
- ERR
TXG - on all bands 160-6. So after passing all the tests/checks
during the
build, I seem to be alignment challenged Even more frustrating is the
detail on the error message in the book says "it could affect one or
two
bands (how about ALL?) and indicates a problem with band pass filter
alignment or one of the low pass filters. Could one of the J-pin
connectors
be the first place to look?
BTW, the good news is the receiver in my K3 is absolutely
fantastic! One
day, it'll all come together...
