P3 alternating blinking red LEDs

Two LEDs inside my P3 are blinking, alternating, and my P3 shows no signals.

Ideas?

That's normal...don't worry about it.

I was more concerned about the lack of signals showing up, but come to think
of it, maybe due to panic I didn't think to adjust the reference level.

I'll check this when I get back home today.

Re: P3 alternating blinking red LEDs

I'm sure the reference level setting is why you don't see any signals as you have already surmised. As someone else mentioned I think the red blinking LED is normal. At least my PIII has a red blinking LED or two inside which I was a bit surprised to discover. I ate concluded it was probably trying to signal that it had found some rare DX or that the Elecraft monster was attempting to escape. One can't be too careful about things like that!

The LEDs are there as a troubleshooting aid. If D200 is blinking the
CPU is alive and if D301 is blinking then the CPU is able to
communicates with the video graphics controller.
