[Elecraft] KX3 Anomaly

[Mike WA8BXN]

I had a similar thing happen recently, and resolved it with a bit of help
from Elecraft support. The problem is that the audio amplifier when using
the internal speaker can draw too much current due to high audio levels. In
my case I had the monitor level too high, so the key beeps caused HI CUR on
occasion. Solutions include turn down the levels some, use external
amplified speakers or headset.

I am having an unexpected response from my KX3 and wonder if it portends 

some failure: in CW mode, when I hold the CMP/PITCH button down I hear the 

tone, the display briefly reads 500 Hz, then displays 

HIGH CUR...this doesn't seem right. 

Comments, inspiration, whatever?
