transmitting on a TS-930S and listening on a Mark 5.

regardless of band, when I have the TS-930 in transmit, but not key-down, I
can hear a slight increase in the noise floor on the Mark 5.  The amount of
increase is subjectively the same, whatever band I'm listening on, and does
*not* change between key up and key down.

causing it.  Any thoughts?
