Thanks for the try Tom. No it is not transmitting. In fact, it is even
weirder than that, the finals heat up while the radio is turned off. It
draws 2 amps when off.

Howdy Buck,
The first thing that comes to mind is that a strait key has something
on top of it, but I sure you checked that. Is it possible that there
is a short in a keying circuit or maybe a foot switch that has
something on it or is shorted out while the rig is set in the CW
mode?
I don't think having either situation could cause transmit unless the
rig is in CW or data mode.
Is the TX LED lit up?
Good luck finding it...

Left the receiver on overnight and when I came down this morning I could
hear the fan running. That's odd. PA TEMP 45
If I turn off the power, the finals still heat up and when I turn the
power back on the HI TEMP warning activates, power is reduced and the PA
TEMP reads 105. Only way to cool it down is to unplug the power.
Any ideas?
