6600 - keys properly on all bands with external keyer except 80 meters.  Continuous keying after initial key down.  Turn off 6600 to stop keying.  Okay on other bands and okay into dummy load.  Ferrite beads everywhere but problem continues.  Swapped 6600 with IC-7300.  No keying issues with IC-7300

    This does sound like an RF problem, and I have had my share.  My latest nightmare on  my remote station was related to a 2M long patch cable that gave me high SWR only on 6M.  

    Do you have a dummy load you can test into?  If it works into a dummy load as expected, then we need to look outside the radio.

    As a similar test, what happens if you reduce the RF level of the radio to 50 watts or 5 watts?
