I have found the center conductor on certain PL-259 plugs is slightly smaller than others. They make a marginal contact with the SO-239 socket. Sometimes intermittent. The trouble it causes can be hard to identify.
Junk connectors are a VERY common cause of problems. If the connector doesn't say Amphenol, it's almost certainly junk. An exception are the vintage connectors with MIL-spec numbers stamped into them. Amphenol's best solder-on PL-259 is 83-1SP.
