Jim,
This much I knew. But I had it programmed correctly. So it is now obvious to me it was a simplex local communication and they were using a different tone.
It's all good now. The fog is lifting.

The other day my UV-5R was in scan mode and a repeater in Huntsville continually stopped my scan with a carrier or tone, not sure which yet.
But
I heard no audio. No matter where I set the squelch, even to 0 I got no audio. However, if I hit the Moni button I could hear the guys talking.
What was happening here?
You have programmed a receive CTCSS tone on the frequency/channel you were listening to. CTCSS is a form of selective squelch. When you have a receive CTCSS tone programmed, only signals that are transmitting the matching CTCSS tone can open your squelch. Same as a repeater that requires tone access. If you don't transmit the matching tone, the repeater can't hear you.
Pressing the [MONI] button overrides any programmed receive CTCSS tone, programmed receive DCS code and SQL setting so that you can hear any FM signal that is in range.
