Bob, I suspect that it is an RF feedback/grounding problem. I have the same situation on 20m. The SDR calibrates fine until it gets to 20m then it tries to calibrate with 0 Watts output fails. I set all of the gain figures manually from the sheet shipped with the radio. If I try to use

Hi Ray, Just my 2 cents here. MFJ makes an RF Isolator that helps suppress RF feedback into the shack. I use it on my system and it works quite well although I admit that I do not have the same problem. FWIW it totally eliminated TVI in my home so it appears to be doing something right! Perhaps
