that could well be nothing more than a switching power supply (think wall wart
here) and that’ s the oscillator singing away.
if you can, run the 7300 on a battery and pull the main breaker in the house.
If the carrier goes away, start looking
if it’s still there, as your neighbors about pulling wall warts one at a time
(good luck with that!)
