QSL Kim, I have seen the same thing here over and over again.

Did I mention there are "No perfect radios"?   hihi

Thankfully the recovery is quick and simple.

I don't recall the details in the original message, but at least 
with my O2, I have noticed that if I mistakenly transmit into the
wrong antenna, or no antenna or a short or.. Basically anything 
with a very large mismatch, something in the DSP crashes and I 
get very high-level noise generated everywhere, all bands, all 
modes. The only way out is to turn the radio off and turn it 
back on again so that it re-boots. I don;t know if the Eagle 
shares this characteristic, but there it is.
