Signal breakup when antenna fully raised
I get a good signal when batwing is lowered, but when fully raised signal breaks up. verified 12 volts and replaced f connectors for good connections. while checking I noticed if I bumped or shook the...

There are many factors.. Some have been covered above.
Recently I lost signal completly, I mean ZERO.. Turns out there is a connector under the Clamshell cable cover in the roof. A new cable end or 2, a new barrel and SIGNAL STRENGTH 90.. As the cable fails you can get a make/break situation.
But But I've had that "Works better down" in some strong signal areas too.
The frequencies used are normally in the 800 MHZ and above area as I recall. This means that as little as a few inches can make a big difference if multi-path recption is present (Signal bouncing off say a Overhanging traffic sign).
