Ok, with the help of Ron N9RC, I found the problem. Apparently, for a
year now, pin 16 on U4 on the RF board was badly soldered. It worked
at first, but when I was futzing with the A to B upgrade apparently I
"jar'd" it loose. When I put the Thermistor upgrade in, it got even
worse. Ron said look the bottom mounted resistors. So while i was
perusing with the magnifier, pin 16 came into view.
It looked horrible. I re-flowed, and viola! The chirping went away.
Re-ran PLL cal, yet again, and now the rig is working fine.
it is amazing how it worked this long :)
Thanks to Ron, N9RC for just the moral support an to others that have
responded. Again, this reflector is awesome.
