FWIW, to protect my 3000 remote station I use a 'dead man' delay-on-operate relay which is triggered by the TX relay in the Flex (linear amp key). If the TX relay is closed for more than 5 minutes, the time delay relay pulls in and shuts the power off to the radio for 10 seconds, assuring QRT. T

One possible explanation is that your house was, at one time, owned by a radio amateur who went SK. Imagine a guy from the 1930s who only operated a transmitter using high voltage coils and De Forest valves coming across a Flex 5000 during one of his haunting episodes. :) Or, closer to reality,
