Hmm.. This makes me think of something with reflected power into the
TX, but it may just be coincidence.
In our case, the PLL was tuned after 24 hours of burn-in, to exactly
factory spec, but within 6 months it had drifted far enough to be
partially unlocking.
Worse, the radio didn't detect the unlock, and kept transmitting with
the VFO hopping between these two frequencies.
I even tied the lock line manually, and the radio just kept right on
transmitting!
