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.
