Larry, I have noticed the same thing here on and off. It seems to be some kind of issue in the communications line (Parallel port of SDR-1000 to the computer). Not everybody seems be experiencing it. My switching the preamp positions also will bring the receive back up. Since I have installed a good PCI parallel card in the computer I haven't had any more issues. I even had the issue using the USB-to-Parallel cable. Then I installed a USB hub in the computer and that made it much better. But this new parallel card seems to have done the trick Larry. I got it from TigerDirect for 14.99.

With at least the 1.8.0 level, there's a little glitch I've noticed that might also be related to another recent thread. Sometimes, when I've just turned the rig on, I find the receive is attenuated an extra 20 dB or so somehow. It actually looks, visually, like a good deal, because the noise floor is down 20db. To clear it, all I have to do is transmit, however briefly. The noise floor comes right back up to normal after that.
