Am experiencing RF on the chassis of the radio when transmit. Have
good ground system, clean power supply, resonant antenna w/ low SWR.
When I touch the antenna of my RF Field Strength meter to any metal on
the radio, wattmeter or power supply it pins the needle. Opened
radio, looked at ant output connectors, could find no problems or bad
solder joints. Installed 1:1 choke balun on coax at radio, no effect
on problem. Hear myself talking in the headset and when transmitting
it triggers a motion detector light mounted outside and above the ham
shack. Same effect when using a dummy load. Defect inside the radio,
anyone experienced this?

and what makes you "Think" you have a "Good RF Ground"?????
Not likely....
