Flex 6500 clicks every three seconds

Just got my 6500 connected and it clicks like a relay in the radio every three seconds. Multiple factory resets and power cycles have no effect. Also installed SmartSDR 1.9.13.173 and it still clicks. Anyone have any ideas?

    Leroy,  Are there any operational symptoms or indicators that something is happening with the 6500  other than the audible relay clicking?  I ask this for those of us with remotely located radios that wont hear any audible relay clicking or even cooling fan noise problems that may develop for that matter.  I have added the fans and relay clicking to my a "remote checklist" to be checked whenever I get to the remote.

    Larry, There are not any operational symptoms or indicators that I could tell. It just clicks. Note that I am currently very inexperienced with the Flex or any other radio so I could easily be missing something. My radio will be going back to Flex as it is showing excess freq errors in the GPS tab and can't get the clicking to stop.
