Leon,

I have the same setup, same RG58, same antenna in my ES and it works=20 fine. I have no splices in my cable, just the connector at the=20 radio. I would check for possible kinks or damage to the cable or prob= lems=20 where the cable connects to the radio. If you have any other connector= s,=20 check them. Of course, if the problem is at the antenna things get=20 complicated and I think I would just "cut the cord" and install a new extern= al=20 antenna.

I think an avionics shop can trace the problem for you too. The R= G400=20 vs. RG58 doesn't matter as much at VHF frequencies.
