> 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.
