Stan,

Check the low pass filter components carefully.  It is possible that it 
is letting harmonics through.
Make certain that Q7 is working.  Capacitor CA is one of the low pass 
filter components that must be in the circuit on transmit.  Q7 
effectively grounds one side of that capacitor on transmit.
