Ah, I "See the PROBLEM", Well first off my receivers are on a separate 
antenna.
When I hear a station on a frequency I want to work, I turn on the 
oscillator in the
transmitter, and zero beat the station I am listening to. All the 
transmitters go into
a "Dummy Load" until the antenna is "tasked to it". No signals on the air, 
NO
annoying whistles, or swishing, generated "On Air"!

I think that is a courtesy to the guys that are listening to the station 
transmitting.
"Prior Planning" and all that. Of course I can only speak for my stations. 
No
pops no squeals, just the sound of the transmitter, quieting their receiver,
when it is my turn to talk!
