Hum on 2 meter signal through transverter

I recently bought and connected a Ukraine 2 meter transverter to my 6600M.  The setup was quite easy once I discovered that the 2 meter repeater offset should be 0.600 MHz instead of 600 KHz.  
The only problem is that there is a hum on received repeater signals when using SmartSDR.  The hum is not noticed directly at the 6600M.
I don't think PL tones are transmitted by the repeater, and I haven't managed to conjure up a way that a hum would be added with SmartSDR.
Any thoughts?

Thanks

    Hmmm, maybe we are thinking/hearing different things here. There's not a lot of repeaters with-in reach of my antenna's where I am located and of those most are very quiet. If you have time and if possible create an audio file and post it. Hopefully someone will be along with a solution or if nothing else we'll be able to say "yup, sounds the same here". Either way, good luck with it.

    Thanks for the follow up Wayne and I am glad you have narrowed it down to the PC without a doubt. The setup here consists of running all wifi so I have no wires from the flex 6700 to the PC. If you do, you know what to do, jiggle the wires, be sure they are in the correct socket, are in all the way, and that windows is directed to them(default, found by windows, etc.). You'll get it.
