This *MAY* have to do with lead dress. When I first made this mod myself,
I noticed a slight S-meter reading on one of the sidebands on receive with
no signals present (I don't remember whether it was LSB or USB). The cure
was to re-route the lead connecting to the base of the '2222 away from the
traces of the nearby chip on the board. Problem solved. :-)
But even without the mod, I think the carrier suppression could be better
than what it is.
