That sounds like overload caused by the AGC not reducing gain enough. If you hear it again, turn on the attenuator and see if that removes the crackling.

Unfortunately, Barry, the lightning problems I had earlier in the weekend

But, the 'sizzling" sounds sounded to my ear just like the 'crackling' sounds 
you and others noted in some of the V2 firmware in 2007.
In the V3 firmware, it was not noticeable on the other  bands, nor in the ARRL 
SSB contest a few weeks back - it just  seemed bad Sunday afternoon, here on 
15m on the main receiver.
