No such menu option on my Orion! (1.372) If you disable the antenna
tuner (is that what you mean?), there is no difference in the keying
relay sound for me.
I suspect the sound comes from the reed relay K2 on assembly A0. I
haven't dug in to verify it, because it doesn't particularly bother
me. I haven't found any options in CW mode to kill this relay. Some
reports say (IIRC) that TT will replace the relay for you, if you ask.
