Try simply placing the power supply on the other side of the radio 
from where it originally sat and see if that makes a difference.

I had a Triton IV many years ago and the placement of the 
power supply on one side or the other of the radio seemed
to be critical and made a big difference.....can't recall in what, 
but it made enough of a difference in something that I always 
remembered that the p/s had to be on one particular side of
the radio.

What do you mean "hearing an echo of
>my signal through my speaker"??
