Greg, In CONFIG, make sure that RS232 is set to USB, and that you’re using the USB port on the KIO3B as the proper connection. It’s easy to overlook that change, and the rig won’t talk to the computer without it. Tony W3FLH __

Hi Gary, The K3 computes forward and reflected power from samples taken in the SWR bridge circuit. A Tif X Gain calibration could fail because the forward power reading is incorrect due to a failure in that portion of the SWR bridge circuit. Do you have the KAT3 ATU in your K3? If so, be sure

According to the schematics, those two double pots on the front panel are merely voltage dividers. They provide 0 to 5v signals to the front panel MCU which controls the function, eg: AF_GAIN. It’s possible the pot has developed a dropout right at the point where you usually set the AF level.
