[TenTec] Scout 555

[Bwana Bob]

That's interesting. I never saw that problem with mine on 40 meters. 
Could it be a grounding wire resonance or antenna issue that causes RF 
to get into the radio?

I once had a problem with birdies with the 17 meter module. Moving 
around some of the harness wires that connect to the band module socket 
cured it.
