[TenTec] RF in headphone cables

[Joseph A. & Ruth O. Ryan]

Sure, I had it on a Kenwood TS-950SD especially on 40m.
In my case it was caused by the wire antenna passing over the
shack at about a 25 foot level.  Used the 'beads' on the phone leads
and also on the speaker lead.  All went away.
Still got using an ORION, but cured it by moving the antenna.
Whatever.
