Squack On Any Button Press

 

I have a 10 - 12 year old well used FT 857d.? Recently when I powered it on or pressed any other button I get a strange loud raspy squack along with the usual tone.? Receive seems to work fine but I am no longer able to hit close repeaters.? I have checked my antenna connections and in fact removed all antennas and speaker plugs.? Same thing.? I also did a factory reset with HOME - POWER ON buttons.? It came up at 7.000 Mhz with the same issues.

I called Yaesu and they said they had never heard of anything like that.? Anyone have any ideas?? I probably will pack it up and send it in but thought I would check while I am getting that done.

Thanks!? 73 de AB9NN

Solved!? I had a RT Systems programming cable plugged into the radio but it became unplugged from my computer.? When I fully unplugged?it from the radio the squacks disappeared and it now transmits just?fine!? Thanks for the idea - I was just unplugging it to send the radio and decided to give it one last try.? 73. de AB9NN
