A resistance test will tell you what is going on. If the cable has ever been kinked that could cause problems as well.I did, or tried to do, the resistance tests....but they all passed. Unless I did 'em wrong?
I have one of the Mag-mount Wilson 1000's. I had a broken solder joint in the base. I cut it open with a dremel and used epoxy to seal it back up.
While you have it open you can also shorten your coax to the correct length.
I'm suspecting its a broken solder in the base- that seems a common problem with these antennas, and this one is probably about 10 years old.
