I would annoy me if the red TX LED flashes continuously while in test mode since I engage it when using the K3 in receiver only mode (e.g. when listening around, so as to not accidentally transmit on top of a monitored QSO). I find that the flashing TX icon is sufficient indication of test mode. As one of those who always monitor power output to confirm transmission, I also observe that in test mode zero power out is indicated on the K3 front panel bar graph when I key down. What more is necessary?
