[Elecraft] K3 Display TX flashing

[Harlan]

OK gang.... I'm sure it's something very simple I am overlooking BUT.
I understand the TX indicator on the display (not the TX led) flashes 
when in TEST mode, or if transmit is inhibited externally. But, mine 
started flashing all the time.
I have disconnected everything except mic, external speaker, power, and 
antenna.
I have reloaded firmware.
I have reloaded to an earlier configuration file.
Nothing changes.

  ALSO, don't know if this is associated or just a fluke, BUT my 
"monitor" function doesn't work anymore either.

What the............
