Hi Dick:
I just tested here and if power control set to any 5.x > 5.0, the test
fails with the following messages in the log:
==============
Power set to 5.1:
Calibrating at 1.900 MHz
Power did not settle
Sample values:
5.2 W ;
5.0 W ;
5.2 W ;
5.0 W ;
5 Watt calibration failed.
==============
Power set to 5.2:
Starting 5 Watt calibration.
Calibrating at 1.900 MHz
Unexpected response "DB 5.2 W ;" to "DB;". State 127
5 Watt calibration failed.
====================
Power set to 5.6:
Starting 5 Watt calibration.
Calibrating at 1.900 MHz
Unexpected response "DB 5.4 W ;" to "DB;". State 127
5 Watt calibration failed.
======================
Power set to 5.9:
Starting 5 Watt calibration.
Calibrating at 1.900 MHz
Unexpected response "DB 5.9 W ;" to "DB;". State 127
5 Watt calibration failed.
Starting 5 Watt calibration.

This is interesting, I'll fool with this. I don't know why the
pre-calibration power setting would affect the automatic calibration,
because the power is set by the calibration routine to 5 or 50 watts or 1
milliwatt (on each band) before any transmission.

Dick, nice utility. I've noticed an error can occur if the K3 is set to
lowish power when you start the calibration run. I had power set to 5.6
Watts and the 5 Watt cal routine failed. Setting the power to 35 Watts
allowed it all to run correctly. Apologies if this has already been noted.
73 and all the best for 2009
