[Elecraft] K3 antenna tiner related question

A relay in the area of the antenna tuner in my K3 (S/N 56)
is clicking randomly on several bands as I send CW.  It
does -not- follow the CW keying and seems to be totally
random in nature.  The "click rate" isn't related to keying
speed, either.  T/R change-over delay isn't involved. I've
had no reports of keying anomalies when on the air, and
it sounds normal in my K2's receiver.  There is only one 
antenna cable connected to the radio, to "ANT 1"

Does anyone else observe this?  It's quiet ... the only way
I became aware of it was when I accidently bumped the key
while I was leaning over the radio doing something behind it.
