Oddly enough, I have experienced a similar problem over the past few 
days and was just resigning myself to having to dig into the rig when I 
discovered I had mistakenly twiddled the squelch control when I planned 
to adjust the monitor level.  Now I have restored the squelch control to 
its fully CCW position the problem has gone away.

I'm sure that won't be what you fellows have done but I'm happy to bare 
my backside just in case!
