First are you sure it's coming in on the MIC?

In my coch the radio and the tuner are perhaps 15 feet (Bee-line) apart, there is another RF device at the rear of the bus that gets it's power via a toggle switch in the ham shack.. As I talk EVEN with the switch off, I can see the 12 volt LED assembly power on indiator flashing. The wire, which runs down therough the floor, along the frame rail and up into the rear cap then back in via the real back wall, to the amp is picking up enough energy to light the lamp... My Kenwood TS-2000 seems not to be bothered by it, but (Nor is anything else in the house) but.. That light flashes.
