On conventional channels, my radio stops listening to the channel after about 5 seconds. BUT, if I enable the monitor mode (I've got monitor setup for silent mode) by holding monitor for 2 seconds, it will listen until the cows come home. I reprogrammed the channel to CSQ and the same thing happens. I was thinking it might be the battery saver being enabled but I checked and it's disabled.
(by saying 'not listening', it will not unmute the speaker when it is receiving a signal indicated by the flashing LED)
TX/RX/PL are matched in both radios and again, it happens regardless of CSQ or PL/DPL usage.
Got any ideas?

Scan is disabled on my conventional modes and scan is turned off before switching to conventional.
Squelch is not an issue, however I bumped the numbers down by about 4.
Tuning, I doubt it. It receives fine in trunked mode and again, within 5 seconds of transmitting.
I checked the muting and it was set at 'standard'. I changed it to 'unmute, or mute' to match the MTS that I have right next to it. Still no go. The speaker will not unmute while receiving with the exception of having monitor turned on or within five seconds of transmitting.
I swear it sounds like a battery saver issue which is disabled. Literally, you let go of PTT and count to 5 and it won't unmute. And if it receives within the 5 seconds after releasing PTT, it will work fine until 5 seconds after loss of carrier.
I reloaded a backed up codeplug from some time ago (before this started happening) and it still does it.
******EDIT******
Figured it out, it was something screwy in the codeplug. This time I took a backed up codeplug from last year and used the F4 write option instead of the normal F8 write to radio and that fixed that little problem right up.
