    Good deal, I suspect that 1/4 watt audio amp IC is faulty and generating noise, but that goofy looking bugger might be hard to find. I...

    I just noticed that my plus threes are doing the same thing but extremely quietly. I get up with extreme feedback long before it makes a...

    I took a meter reading of battery voltage while keyed, and it holds steady at 8.93v. At idle it's at 9.03. It seems to be keying...
