OK, I don't know what happened but I was just mobile on Linc 725 and heard a call for a radio check. I thought either he will hear me ,,,,or NOT! He heard me and he was talking about the same problem as mine. Sounds like the repeater got rebooted. He said he checked the net link and there was a problem in Indiana also. My better half heard the convo and said she heard the entire convo load and clear. Makes me happy!!
Thanks to EVERYONE for the help!
