This sounds like something has shorted the LPT input (pin lines) on the card
to ground thus giving the alternating di-dahs.

This part is probably shorted too thus keying the amp control transistor.
I have seen and experienced RF getting into the keying lines when using TR
and others. The conditions you describe sound more like a problem with the
printer port itself. Do a thorough mechanical check too since it sounds like
most of the printer port is shorted. Does the port still run your printer
okay?

Understood and hope you find and fix the problem easily.
