This could have happened if you had NET on while using AFSK.  NET is
designed for use during a roundtable type operation (thus the name)
but it causes problems when used incorrectly.  My recommendation is to
always have it off, roundtable or not.

Now that you are using FSK, NET has no effect anyway.
