Is the separation of the ghosts a multiple of the audio frequency of the
signal? Do the ghosts go away if you turn down the volume or use headphones?
It might be microphony, which has been responsible for weak transmit spurii
spaced by the frequency of the sidetone. There is a stiffener for the
synthesizer board that is supposed to cure the problem (if that's what it
is.)
