I agreeI would be willing to wager you have a corrosion issue at the connection from the antenna to the VHF ( or somewhere along the circuit).
1.) Has the coaxial cable been spliced at any time? If so, this is a suspect area.
2.) Has the VHF and antenna worked successfully up to this point and all of a sudden it won't transmit?
3.) Can you receive without disruption?
These are all important questions to isolate the problem area.
Also, as an FYI, the USCG frowns upon using 16 for radio checks. BoatUS use to offer a 27 channel radio check, but they have stopped that. I usually use channel 72 as that is our local fishing channel.
Thoughts?
