My new-to-me 270da came with a Standard Horizon nova VHF radio and a very broken antenna (broken off right at the base). I replaced the antenna and now when I transmit (have only tried this on channel 66a) the marina's can hear me, but I can't hear there replies. I can go to Ch 16 and the WX channels and hear ok but nothing when I get a reply. any ideas why this would be? I checked the connection on the back of the radio as well as the RG connector that I had to put on (the new crimp on style) and they are fine.
