The center pin on one of the connectors is shorter than it should be, is a possibility. I have seen this more than once. The pin is almost long enough to touch but not tightly. When there is an active signal, i.e., the radio, there must be enough capacitance coupling to broadcast, but the mV of the receive signal isn't enough to bridge the gap. At least that is my theory.
