A real simple test I had for deaf antenna: this was on 2M so I stripped a section of coax off eh end to form a 1/4 wave antenna and connected it to the original run of coax to make sure I could be heard with a few short tests. Turns out it was the antenna in the end and not the coax like I thought. Might give it a try and see if that doesn't work for you in a pinch. That way you know if it's the antenna or another problem. Just throwing out ideas.

As i wrote, i have a problem with sensitivity, think that antenna is "deaf". Will try to compare with Celwave antenna and Rohde&Schwarz CMS54 test-set as receiver to see differences....
