Disconnect the coax from your radio and remove the pl connector from the coax. Peel back the outer jacket, inspect the braid, if it is discolored (black) your antenna took a hit. It might not have taken a direct hit, so new coax might fix your problem. If it did take a direct hit, plan on buying a new radio, coax and antenna.
