Phil,

PL-259s depend on tightness to make a good connection to the shield.
This is an often overlooked cause of problems.
After hand tightening, snug them up just a bit more with pliers if you want them to be reliable.

Don't overlook the obvious.  Check to make sure the connectors are all very tight. 
"Hand snug" is not good enough!

What do you mean “Hand Snug” is not good enough?
