[Elecraft] K3 double beep when not connected

[Don Wilhelm]

Roy,

That is a real mystery, the K3 has no internal battery, so if there is 
no power connected, how can it make any sound?  The only battery that is 
in the K3 is the battery for the real time clock, but even that requires 
power to the audio amplifiers for any output it might generate to reach 
the speaker (or headphones).

Since you have nothing connected to your K3, move it to another room - 
does the double beep continue to come from the K3 or did the sound stay 
in the hamshack?

You could have a serious problem if that is the sound of the Elecraft 
Mojo leaking out :-) .

73,
