I have been doing some tests with my new single-tower SO2R setup, transmitting 
on a TS-930S and listening on a Mark 5.
Results so far are very gratifying.  I have noticed, though, that regardless of 
band, when I have the TS-930 in transmit, but not key-down, I can hear a slight 
increase in the noise floor on the Mark 5.  The amount of increase is 
subjectively the same, whatever band I'm listening on, and does *not* change 
between key up and key down.
I'd characterize this as a nuisance, and probably not an operational problem 
under extreme weak-signal conditions, but I'm curious what could be causing it. 
 Any thoughts?
