Glenn,

About the **only** thing that can be causing everything you describe is a
simple unwanted solder bridge to ground (most likely from J8 pin 7 to pin 6)
on the circuit between J8 pin 7, J5, and P3.  Visually check closely for
such a bridge at J8, J5 (antenna), and P3 and the traces between them.  It
should be simple to fix when you find it.
