Gary: NEXT TIME it occurs, and BEFORE you do anything else, find a signal and not the S-meter reading. THEN re-cycle whatever must be recycled to obtain the expected audio output level and THEN re-check the S-meter. If the signal level has not changed, then the problem is (most probably) in the AF section. If the signal is now reading higher on the S-meter, then the problem is RF-related.
