Eric,

The woosh you describe happens here when I use filters with different IF 
offsets.
I trust that you use filters with the same offset.
Maybe one of the offsets has changed? You can check this easily with the 
K3 utilty program.
Look at the configuration tab onder 'configure crystal filters'.

If you use the diversity setting and you still hear the woosh, this is 
the thing I would check.
