Dick,
I think all is well, as long as the TX Gain Calibration succeeded.
What you are seeing in the summary is the gain factor for each band.
The RF Gain is not constant from one band to another, but after a
successful calibration routine, those values are used by the firmware to
compute the
I've just done a TX Gain Calibration. The numbers shown TX Gain Calibration
Summary vary quite a bit. What is the proper way to interpret them?
Best,

We'll look into this right away. I've copied your message to our PC software

The 5W TX cal fails also, but no error message on the K3.

I recently had to make a new TX gain calibration. Apparently it was only 80m
where the K3 every now and then displayed High Current and reduced the
transmit power. Even when setting power to a low value (e.g. 25W) then the very

Results of the most recent calibration are saved in a folder under

There's no history of prior calibrations.

I have struggled with the build of my K3/100 #6937 (kit) for several weeks
trying to solve these problem(s) myself. No joy! I have read and reread the
manuals so many times that at this point I only confuse myself more each time I
go over it. I really would like to get this thing on the air.
I replaced the LPA board and my K3 now passes the Low and High Power TX
Gain Calibration tests.
We believe that there was a failure of one of the drivers which required
much more gain to get the desired 5 watts out of the board.
If your K3 has the transverter board and it passes the 1mw test
I have emailed support but was curious if others have seen this issue.
I was seeing a few spikes on the KPA500 so I decided to do the TX
Calibration. I have all the bands in good order except for 6m where the
output will not go above 3.6 watts on the 5W calibration or above 48ish
on the
Hi Mike...
Just to give you another data point, I have no problems
doing the TX Cal on 6 meters. Using about a 6 foot length of
RG-213 to an old Heath Cantenna. Works fine at both 5 watts
and 50 watts.
Good Luck...

This was measured on the K3 doing the TX gain adjustment. It fails and
gives an error message.

Hy to all, just done the tx gain calibration for low power and i have a reading
of exactly 5 watts on all bands but 6 meters on which i read 16 watts. What's
wrong about this???
Tnx for help as usual

Just ran this and it fails at 29MHz with high swr, somewhere between 2 and
4:1. Coax dummy load directly into Ant1 and gives high swr on both 5w and
50w using the K3 Utility as well as manually. All other bands fine
(including 24MHz) and transmits fine on 28MHz when antenna matched using the
Seems that I only have two tx power options. When PWR is set below13W, I
get ~12 watts. As soon as the PWR knob is set at 13 or above, I get ~150
watts. I've gone through the txgn both lo hi - no ghange.

Hope you guy's have an idea.
I am having trouble with the tx gain section.
I have the 2.7k filter in FL1 slot and the 400 hz in the FL2 slot.

FRQ -.860.00

When carrying out the power calibration on the K3, I find that TXGN in
the Config[Tech] menu shows: Pr80 28 when doing the 50W calibration
on 80 metres. It is only on 80m the 50W calibration that I get the
Pr80. On all other bands the Pr80 is not shown and I just get a gain
figure.
