I was trying to troubleshoot poor performance using my Nagoya TB-320A antenna. https://www.amazon.com/Authentic-Genuine-TB-320A-Fold-Over-Tri-band/dp/B01B8OXDJ6 After testing coax for shorts and swapping out the Nagoya with another antenna my signal quality improved. I took a closer look at Nagoya and I'm perplexed at what I found. I would expect that the ground should stop at the base while the center connection is the remaining part of the antenna. Ringing out the center using my meter finds that it is connected to nothing. The Base, however rings to the entire antenna except the center. My test antenna doesn't act this way. The center connects right to the length up to the tip.
Am I missing something here or do I have a bad antenna?
