I have the same problem when using HAMCOMM for RTTY with my Kenwood 
TS-850.  I solved it by isolating the audio circuits with a transformer 
and the digital circuits with an optocoupler.  I have a similar problem 
when I connect my computer with TRLog to the CW key jack, so I built an 
optocoupler interface for it and the problem went away.

When I went to the Kenwood site to research this problem, their first 
recommended fix was to power the radio and the TNC/Computer from 
DIFFERENT power supplies.  I'm not sure why the common ground causes a 
problem, but isolating it fixes the symptoms!

Was pleased to see an "Accessory" port on the back on my Icom 737.  It works 
well with my TNC for packet, rtty, etc.  Unfortunately,  the microphone audio 
is distorted (quite badly, I'm told) when a cable remains connected to this 
port.   I've tried the Radio Shack chokes which separate in to two C-shaped 
sections.   No luck.  Audio is still so bad I just unplug the cable.   Any 
suggestions?
