[Elecraft] (KX3) Voltage display (solved)

Sounds like a good outcome: no repair required.  I confess to having made
mistakes much like this.  Frequently.

Ok, I feel like an idiot.  Operator error.  Who knew there was a display for
BAT and P/S?  I just turned the knob to the left to read the P/S instead of
the internal battery.  I hang my head in shame!
