Stupid question but any chance the squelch control has found it's way close
to threshold?

I remember being embarrassed with that issue many years ago with a TS-440.
My first radio with a squelch control :-)

|YES. YES. YES.
|I got many replies to check the squelch and RF gain etc. but it took many,
|many months to figure this out and it was a poor connection with the
|external speaker plug.  Not in the rig but on the speaker cord.  I had one
|of those adapters that went from 1/8 mini phone plug to RCA and then a RCA
|"Y " connector.  It seems that only when EDSP was on the problem would
|occur.  It first happened about 2 years ago then 10 months no problem.
|Happened at FD and I removed all peripherals and hooked them up again and
|all was FB.  It was when I was moving the rig to the new shack that I was
|able to duplicate the problem.. Got rid of the adapter and "Y" and just use
|a good patch cord from the rig to SP-8 and it is solid.  Your switching the
|rig off and on again could be just enough movement to make the connection
|work again.  I did the same.  Kicking the bench works too.  :-)
