Re: [Elecraft] [SPAM?] K3 TX calibration fails after KXV3B and SYN3A upgrade
Thanks Udo. Did you have RF out while the KXV3B was installed? I get no RF either below or above the 12Watt PA changeover point setting on the PWR control. 73, David From: Udo Langenohl - DK5YA [via Elecraft] [mailto:ml-node+s365791n7606338...@n2.nabble.com] Sent: 16 August 2015 11:58 To: David Aslin G3WGN da...@aslinvc.com Subject: Re: [SPAM?] K3 TX calibration fails after KXV3B and SYN3A upgrade David, so did I in June, replaced KXV3-A by KXV3-B, TX calibration always failed.
