As a follow on to David's post: "Check the RF Gain setting. I'll bet it is not zero!"
I had the same problem when I first got my KX3. Thought I was going to have to send the radio in for an LCD replacement until Wayne politely suggested I press the AF/RF SQL knob until RF appears, then turn it all the way to the left until -0 appears. That fixed it. The reason is in the Owners Manual on page 12: "If you reduce RF gain more than a few dB, a separate segment of the S-meter turns on as a reminder. The segment used varies with the amount of RF gain."
