Does anybody use anything like Caig's DeOxit products? I'd treat each & every
connector in the system, inside & outside the electronic cabinets, e.g. coax
connectors.
I find it works extremely well, indoors & out. I've been using it for years.
I have restored equipment rendered near-useless by bad switch contacts,
connectors, even tube pins/sockets. Even an old Ford Tempo that "could not be
fixed"--Caig'd every connector I could get to & all its intermittent problems
went away. Not really cheap but worth it to me.
Lots of info at: www.caig.com
PS I have NO commericial interest in Caig.

Been there and done that!
My guess is that you have corrosion in the antenna
on top. The corrosion makes a good wide band rectifier of your transmit
power and produces sufficient noise at your receive frequency to get back
through your duplexer and into your receiver as desense. Actually, come to
think
about it, the end result of the situation is simular to bad LMR-400.
