Nate-
yep, tried that and still the same story: only exhibits that behavior in DV
mode.
Did you try it on FM on the same frequency, Bud... or did you move 2-3 MHz up
in our current bandplan around here, to go to an analog FM repeater? ;-)
Try FM mode on the D-STAR input. (I know, naughty

So I took the radio our of the truck and plugged in into the control head and
power supply for my other 800 in the house and it worked fine. Therefore the
radio itself must be fine, meaning that the SWR of the system in the truck is
high and/or the power supply in the truck is problematic.

Good point, John. That will be my next step when I have a moment. Something has
changed about the conditions in the truck and/or radio, as the system worked
fine for 1+ years before this. Also, my D710a works fine on the same power
supply in the truck. Obviously a different radio altogether,
I am more concerned about the 11.6 than the 14.5. You should see 13.6
at the battery with the engine running and the headlights on. 14.5
for an extended length of time will be a little hot for the car
battery. My guess is a corroded connection, resistive fuse, or too
small a DC power cable.
