I had problems on 40 and moved the wiring and put on the filters, but 15 was not usable at all. So I think I may have fixed this problem. First I have a clamp on ferrite on 
the USB and Key line at the back of the win key. Next I soldered a wire to 
the common point of C3 and C6 to ground, or at least the metal chassis. I 
did the same with the common point of C7 and C9. connected this to the 
chassis. I actually found a point on the circuit board that went to one of 
the mounting screws for ground. Next I ran a ground wire the the station 
ground from one of the outside screws. I just tested it on all bands running 
100 watts and N1MM and it worked. Actually I have tested it twice now on all bands 160 through 10, even the WARC Bands and all is OK. 
I think this is a  "pin 1" problem, any way this is working so far. 
I have heard of others having this problem, so I hope this helps. Any questions let me know.
