I had a problem with my O1 & O2 with the TT 706 mic. Key stuck and RF in the audio. I found that when I pointed the beam right over the shack the problems started. I was able to eliminate almost all the problems by taking the 706 mic apart and using kitchen foil placing it around the little PC board pre amp and leaving a tab to put under one of the bottoming mounting screws, that grounded the foil. I first put black tape on the board to insulate it from the foil. Yes, the shack is grounded to a common 2, 8 foot ground rods 5 feet apart. I also found last year when I had the key stuck problem it turned out to be the PTT button switch. It was bad. Had to bang on it to get back to receive.
My 2 cents.
