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.
