I first found this issue on 75 meters. I checked on higher bands and the off frequency signal is there but not as strong, I only see this through the amplifier. The signal gets lower in strength as I go up in bands. As you stated earlier Charles the sdr1000 will not trip into a dummy load because

Joe and Charles, How low a level is the output of the SDR when your noise gate kicks in? You might need to turn the Alpha Max off to stop the constant tuning of the 87A.. I had the same issue with the Jupiter also, so enter load buttons on the Alpha should stop the tuning. Might try

I can set all the physical controls on the firebox to zero along with the mic and power settings on the sdr to zero; I then key the sdr along with the amp and power out is approximately 9 watts out. While this input is going to the dummy load I see no swr as you would expect but into an antenna
