I had a similar problem, but it occurred only once and I could not reproduce 
it. It was like the issue with the missing ground of a Cap in the display unit. 
When I pressed the PTT, the output went to 120 Watts (seen on my 
Wattmeter) and my voice could not be heard (I tried to answer a CQ call)
Switching off and on the rig cured the problem.
