Blinking KX3?

[Frank Krozel]

So it has been a million years since I opened up my KX3.
Today (stranded in the UP of Michigan) I took the trusty KX3 out and am getting ready to operate.
Inside the left hole that uses a screw to hold in the paddle, there is a “blinking yellow light”.
Never saw that before is that normal?

Yes, Frank.  It has been blinking for a million years...or at least for as long as you have had power on the radio:

Single blink every .5 sec = KX3 off, KXBC3 in ultra low power mode.
Single blink every 2.5 sec = radio is on, KXBC3 normal, not charging batteries.
Single blink every .75 sec = charge cycle in progress.
Triple blink every 2.5 sec = charge cycle has been suspended due to temperature or insufficient external voltage.
