We are finding on most rockets that the flat washer/nut on antennas are loose, and can leave a tiny gap after the antenna is attached. There is a rubber seal under the flat nut, but if it is too loose, moisture will get into radio. Also, if installer did not give that finger tightening an additional 1/4 turn, they will work loose with temperature fluctuation. A serious mismatched chain is usually one of these issues, or a broken antenna lead. (bent to much for instance during install). Visually check female and male antenna connectors for 'stuff', once had screwed one onto a spider or bug.
