limeSDR-mini transmitting without being told to

hello,
after a year of having a limesdr-mini in my shelf ive started playing with it.

im running ubuntu in a vbox on osx serria with 3.0 usb.

i have installed and have working limesuite sdrangel pathos and grc, sadly i cant get gqrx to work yet but im sure i will soon.

i have mostly been using grc to test examples and create my own scripts.

i have however recently been testing gr-paint which i have adapted from bladerf to the lime-mini.

all works fine on the lime so far except today i now have a very odd signal being produced at 700mhz all the time, i.e if the usb is plugged in it transmits a singal wihtout me running a grc script or not.

i was just before using gr-paint at 700mhz but i was also testing it at 915 and 800mhz and there is no signal there.

i have since tried reinstalling firmware but nothing has changed.the signal is still produced at 700mhz.

i have taken some screen shots of the signal whilst being plugged in to usb without running a grc script and whilst running a grc fm transmit example at 465mhz.

below are some screenshots i took,i am also confused why the fm transmit example found in gr-limesdr examples is producing mutliple signals rather than one.
