Do you mean dipole ?
Get an SWR meter and check things at the antenna connection.
An SWR meter for 2 Meter ham band will do nicely.
Sounds like you may have a bad/no connection at the antenna elements.

I'm in need of a radio guy -- hopefully in the So. Illlinois area 50 mi. east
of St. Louis -- to solve my baffling radio transmit/receive problem,
 I have a new KX125, a 400-equivalent coax to a bipolar antenna, and am
getting 5watts right to the antenna, but cannot transmit more than a few
thousand feet.  Can recieve maybe a few miles okay.
 
 Would anyone recommend an avionics shop somewhere nearby with a guy who can
troubleshoot this kind of thiing in experimental airplanes?
 
 Any help really appreciated.  We have a nice-flying LNC2 but are essentially
'radio-less'.
 
 Thanks,
