whos system?

If you are transmitting and receiving at close range, it still leads me to believe your ant is bad. maybe a bad ground or something like that.

I would pull the antenna and put a new one in. Im sure there are meters you can buy at radio shack to check your RF gain. If you are racing in Destin, Racing Communications will be there and possibly be able to help you out.
