[Elecraft] K3 Delta-f Indicator not working

All,
I have a relatively new K3, firmware version 4.39. When setting split
around 10.110 MHz CW, I noticed the amber delta-f indicator not lighting
when entering split mode. The unit clearly showed split mode on LCD display
with the TX pointing to the secondary frequency, with TX frequency a few kHz
up the band. I had been trying to dig an extremely weak signal out of the
noise, and had disabled the subreceiver briefly to try to pick up a little
extra gain. I don¹t remember if the light had actually ever lit.
As a test, I enabled RIT and XIT. The indicators around that encoder
worked, but still not delta-f below the power button. I was able to restore
functionality to the delta-f indicator when power cycling the K3. Having
been a former Kenwood user, I¹m used to having the display frequency change
on transmit in split mode, so not sure really split is working or not when
this indicator does not work. Sometimes I forget to disable split when done
with it and embarrass myself, so I need all the help I can get!
Any ideas? (No running PC attached to K3 at the time, so HRD or other
logging S/W not an issue this time around. I do have P3 with latest F/W
attached.)
Thanks and 73,
