Chris:
Does the rig go into transmit when this happens?
I had something similar happen with my FT-1000, but it went into xmit
when there was a very stron local CW signal. I found that the culprit
was apparently the adjustment of VOX and Anti-VOX. The rig would go
into transmit (with no power output, I might add) when the AGC got above
a certain level. I resolved it by changing the VOX/Anti-Vox settings.
Check to see if your problem manifests itself during reception of strong
signals.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] TS-950SD Rvcr Problems
I'm having trouble with my TS-950SD. Every so often, the receiver goes
dead. The S-meter goes full scale and I can't hear anything. It's as
if
the RF-gain was turned all the way back.
Most of the time it will correct itself within a second or two.
Sometimes
cycling the power on an off will correct it, other times I have to leave
the power off for a while. It's hit and miss. Sometimes it happens
shortly after I turn on the rig, other times it starts happening after
the
rig has been on for a few hours. Sometimes the receiver will go quiet
(and
full S-meter) for a long time (minutes), other times it will quickly
cycle
between working and not working, as if someone was playing with the
RF-gain
knob. I've reset the microprocessor, but it's still the same.
Has anyone experienced this before (not necessarily with a TS-950)?
What
was the root cause?
