Hi Julian,
	I do not use any kind of computer control/interface. I am not strong in
this area, and have been holding off on more firmware upgrades until the
"dust settles" a little bit.

I have had the suspicion that this sometimes happens, too. I don't use
SSB
often enough to have hit on the sequence of events that causes it. But
having set up the mic gain and compression to give the output I want,
I've
noticed the meter being less lively than it should, and nothing's
changed.

Do either of you guys use computer software to control the radio,
perchance?
I recently identified a problem where filter settings were not properly
being stored or restored when changing bands by software command. Perhaps
other settings are getting lost or confused as well.
