Also you might try putting a 20-30 db attenuator on your radio connector.
If the signal remains then probably originating (ie mixing products)

occuring inside the radio.


Good idea. One note: DO NOT TRANSMIT WITH THE ATTENUATOR IN THE LINE. You
WILL destroy it, and likely your transmitter's final amplifier as well if
you transmit for too long after destroying the attenuator.
