    The adapter to my antenna broke. I replaced it and hooked everything back up but now I have no signal. Any ideas? I was thinking the Cable but i dunno.
    Thanks

    I asume its a PL259

    If you have a ohm meter check to see its working you should show open from the center to the sheld with the antenna disconnected and from the tip of the connector to the center of the antenna mount a low reststance with the antenna connect this may or may not change.

    Yes it is pl259 I do have access to an ohm meter, but never really used one so maybe a little more guidance would be helpful. Thanks

    Center pin of connector goes directly to the feed point of the wip and the shell ( screw on part ) goes to the coax sheild and ground at the feedpoint .
