I'd do a full reset on the radio if I were you, unless you had it set that 
way, it sounds like either something went flakey and a reset might fix it, 
or, the dreaded crimp connectors in that radio to attach wires to the boards 
are going flakey which was a known thing on those radios. Hopefully the 
reset does the job. I did see your first message and it was fine but I 
wasn't in a position to respond at the time.
