K601 is supposed to be an AC coil relay. I'm not sure what wire colors
are supposed to be where, but one side is 6.3VAC from the filament
winding, and the other can be grounded by the transmitter through pin 9
of
TB103 if and only if the break-in switch is on.

Often when AC coil relays "go bad" they exhibit the buzzing you
describe.
