The problem is that it's not consistent. I did make over 250 QSOs, after
all. After re-initing the MMTTY Engine the radio would sometimes get
stuck in xmit ... but not always. I did notice that when I turned the
radio back on that it would retune even though I hadn't changed frequency.

I'll check, but I don't think so. All the radios go to a copper bar and
the bar is connected through the patch panel to an 8' ground rod not 10'
from the station itself. The computer is only grounded through the 3-wire
plug so I'm not sure what else I could do there. I'm thinking that it's
more like some kind of proximity thing. Maybe make sure all the audio is
as far from the RF as possible.
