Mark,

   It sounds like water in the coax/jumper or your pigtail (from radio to N
fitting) is bad. If you reused the pigtail and it was hit by
lightening/static discharge it may be fried as well. I have seen times where
they weren't seated well on the radio and cause them to act up too. While
you are there - - reseat the radio in the SBC as well.
