[Elecraft] T1 Tuner green/yellow flashing LEDs

[Craig Vonilten]

I just finished building my T1 kit.  As with their other gear, top notch
instructions and quality.  A very solid design.  Power up and test all
appear to be functional, although I've not tuned any radials yet, since I
wanted to step through the testing.  Everything appears nominal including
the inductor testing.  However, when I tested the bypass (IN/OUT) feature,
the green/yellow LEDs rapidly flash (alternating pattern).  Pressing (and
holding) the BYP button will hold one or the other LEDs, with the pattern
starting as soon as the button is released.  No other button combination
seems to stop or correct this condition.  I expected to be able to press BYP
to select IN or OUT and have a steady green or steady yellow (indicating the
bypass condition).  I have to remove the battery to reset the tuner and
recover from this flashing LED condition.  As stated, I have not tuned a
load yet.  Is this normal?
