That's how Voice Alert works. If you receive a data burst while you have PL 
turned on .. then someone is sending APRS data with PL ... and, if they have 
VA set "properly" with the volume up .. they will be listening to your data 
burst as well .. if you transmit voice on Side A .. with the PL still 
selected .. they will hear you ... then you both QSY on Side B to 52 and 
have a QSO.
