Microphone issue

All is going well with the 140, except when I insert the microphone. This is the same mic I use with the mchf.
When inserted, the radio goes crazy. If I press PTT it transmits just fine, but when I let go, it goes crazy again.
Will this board not work with the same mic as the mchf??

Are you familiar with the mics we are using on the mchf? AS I said when I PTT the mic works, it is just in standby that the radio keys very fast.
So you believe it is the wrong mic?

OK, Then there must be a problem, the radio should not go crazy from just plugging in the mic.
Could the D6 being faulty have anything to do with this?

I have replaced D6, and now the CW paddles work fine. I still have the issue with the PTT line, If I insert the mic while the radio is in CW, it starts sending dashes. If I insert the radio in SSB, it starts keying off and on very fast. I can duplicate this just by manually keying the radio with a jumper at the mic jack!
Any more ideas?
If there was a ground somewhere on the board, I think it would be keying all the time, not just with the mic plugged in.
I can take the same mic, plug it into the mchf and it works just fine.
