Thanks for the response, Pete.  Appreciated.

Definitely not sourcing from MIC as it has occurred with 1 Standard Mic
connected 2 Headset Connected and 3 No Mic connected.

The shuttle jog sounds a likely suspect though so I will take a look at that
and see - only problem is the rubbber cover over the VFO dial is extremely
tightly attached.  Hopefully I can remove this OK, but it's not as easy as
the user manual suggests.  I've tried (and failed) to remove it before, in a
vain attempt to change the tension of the tuning dial.
