Rick:
Pull your manual out again and readjust the keyer pot
on the keyer board. What's happening is that the
adjustment pot is not adjusted to cut off the VFO.
What you are hearing is the result of that
non-adjustment. Do the adjustment per the manual and
you should have things quieted down. How do I know?
Need I recite to you my various experiences with these
things? ;^). Nuff said.
