KX3 has a ping noise

VE3WDM
Good afternoon all,  while operating my KX3 when the keyer is released I hear a "ping" in my headphones. It happens on 21, 28 and 18Mhz, I have changed the headphones and also put the KX3 on a dummy load as well. Not sure if I inadvertently tuned on some type of option?

Mine a has a similar effect that I noticed during /P in QRPTTF yesterday.
Possibly RF getting back into the rig ? Was using open wire feedline and a
4:1 balun.

Hi Dave thanks for taking the time to get back to me. I thought the same but it also does in with the dummy load as well with the power set at 0.

It's all figured out....I had dual watch on (not sure how that happened) it seemed when VFO B was close to VFO A then the ping effect happened. Turned off dual watch and all is well now.
