When you  switch to OPER, is there an asterisk on the left side of the LCD? 
This would  indicate that the PTT line is engaged or shorted. fix that 
connection and  things should return to normal.
There are several things that could be  causing the trouble you see. Work 
through them with Elecraft customer support  and you may avoid shipping the 
amp back.
