K3 - Strange Test Mode Phenomenon with K144XV

[Geoffrey Downs-2]

Can anyone tell me what would cause some rf output in Test Mode (all modes)?

I'm getting it on 2m with the K144XV. Not the output the PWR control is set
to. It's always 1 watt with about 0.6w reflected power on a cross needle SWR
meter i.e high swr. This is on a small beam antenna with an SWR of 1.2:1 at
the relevant frequency.

The same thing happens on SSB - not in test mode - when I am not speaking
into the mic.

It works properly on CW, AM, Data and FM when not in test mode. There is no
output in test mode on other bands.

73 to all
