Hi Dennis,
This may indicate a hardware problem. The short circuit load is not making contact, so it looks like an open circuit. This could be caused by a bad RF connector, the isolation relay not closing, or a defective resistor.
Do you have another cal file that is ok? Use that to test something to see if the RF output is basically functional.
Contact me by email and I'll send you some more diagnostic info.
