Fred has a good point.? It would be good to know what your rig is putting out in GEN mode.? You were saying it was drawing a significant current.? If it were generating a real USB signal, the current should be zero (actually, the idle current, with no mic audio).?
It would be great if you could connect a spectrum analyzer or a frequency counter after the dummy load.? Yes, this could be self-oscillations.
Let us know of your progress.
