Is this beep from the radio or from the computer speaker?

If it is from the radio - maybe you need to turn the 
beep off or the volume of it down.

I often use the shift keys to tune the RIT and/or the VFO 
on my kenwood TS-850 radios.  The radio normally has a 
beep for each key press and indeed will beep while 
you tune the RIT with the shift keys.  My solution 
was to turn the volume on the beep to zero inside the 
radio so that noise does not happen.  

I think there is also a beep when you clear the RIT as well.

Some contests in TR-Log have the RIT clear in the preprogramed
CW messages - this might explain why you heard it in the NAQP but 
not in the CQP.

Let us know what happens.
