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

anyone experienced this?

Thanks to everyone who responded. The problem of hearing myself when
transmitting is a problem in the radio as I suspected. The motion
light issue is of no concern, they are inherently prone to RF setting
them off. This one is only about 5' above the radio on the outside
wall. My main question was directed to if anyone had this type
problem with their TS-570.
