I had a problem like this with another manufacturer's radio. After transmitting I would hear full volume, then it would quiet down and it took a blast of RF to restore sensitivity.
It turned out to be a corroded connector on the linear loading wires of my 40 meter antenna. I would also look for a relay somewhere along the path (in a linear, or an antenna switch) that might need a piece of paper slid between the contacts.
