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 a

I've got a duh of my own... I did enable TECH MD and looking at page 48 under transmitter gain in config I see no TXGN demonstrated; I see Tx DLY, Tx ESSB and Tx GATE. Doing the PWR SET and setting the output to say 5W and then holding tune, it does calibrate 5W for that specific band that I'm

I'm getting an error message and the calibration fails. I am communicating fine with the K3. The message is "Unexpected response "d...@nqr@008AE" to "DS" State 41. The "AE" are different characters than I can type here but the closest I can come to them. Any ideas? And Merry Christmas!! Bill
