Expeditioners that do lots of portable setups have repeatedly preached
that when anything goes wrong in a radio system to ALWAYS suspect a bad
piece of coax, and usually a bad or poorly installed connector.
Back in the days when I was doing lots of live recording and sound
reinforcement gigs, it was mic cables. A standard test was to plug a mic
into the mixer with the cable(s) to test, listen on headphones with the
gain up, and "rattle" both ends and the cable itself to expose any
faults. To test coax cables, I'd do something equivalent with low power
into a dummy load and watching SWR at the rig.
