[App_rpt-users] Interesting problem

[Ken]

You say 'underneath' the transmit audio, so I am guessing it is a low volume
level tone. 
I have had various hums/tones show up that I eventually traced to ground
loops.
Use of switching supplies for the computer and radio make for lots of
interesting "notes".
The URI has no transformer isolation, so is particularly susceptible to
this, under certain circumstances.

The cure was simple and effective: a short heavy wire between the computer
chassis and the transmitter chassis.
