[Elecraft] Open Mic Inside The Radio?

[Don Wilhelm]

Do you see the red TX light on?  If so, you are in transmit and the 
monitor volume is too high.  Perhaps something has closed your PTT circuit.

I could also suspect an RF Feedback problem.  Give us more details about 
the state and conditions under which you observe this.  Is it really 
frequency dependent?
