[Elecraft} K3 keeps going into transmit mode on 80m SSB

tomb18
Hi,
I have a strange issue on my K3.  It keeps going into transmit mode every 1-2 seconds go a split second.  This is only happening on 80m, LSB and if AGC is off.  It doesn’t happen in any other mode or band.  I have disconnected all cables except for the antennas and the 15pin accessory cable.
If I turn AGC on, it goes away.  If I turn it off, it comes back.  Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Tom

Hi,
The NR and NB is off, and VOX is set to about 30.  But there is no mike attached or line-in.

Hi Tom,

Just shooting in the dark here:

Is VOX on?

NB - if so what level?

NR - if so what level?
