Can you confirm that your receive on (FCC, 27.385) 38 lsb is correct?
Do you hear the people talking that are trying to hear you transmitt on 38lsb?
 
have you tried to make sure you do not have LSB out of alignment on the frequencys. what radioman is leaning to. you may have a alignment problem and are not on freq. did this just start or did it do this after a mod of some sort. after other channels were installed etc.
