If it's only on 15M, it's pretty much a certainly that it's NOT the T-R 
relay, which is common to all bands.

Consider going to my web site  www.n0ss.net  and downloading my K2 Cheap & 
Dirty Signal Tracing document and seeing if you can localize the problem a 
bit more.

OH... one more thing... if you have the K160RX installed, be sure you don't 
have the AUX ANT INPUT turned on for 15M... seen that happen more than once.
