Tried cross band repeat on my tri band last night on a local simplex chat. (was using my HT from the backyard) Worked great for about a 1 minute, had good signal reports, then locked up. The radio had powered itself down, and was really hot. This unit rarely gets more than warm on a simplex chat. Anybody got any ideas? I'm not a big talker so I'm kind of stumped. After it cooled for a couple minute, it worked okay for regular simplex use.

right vfo - required CTCSS tone set at 62.5 or 88.5 (forgot exact value)
(ht: UV-5R transmitting CTCSS 88.5 on 446.565)
