I think at this point I would go looking for an ohm meter and work on the cable. Make sure you have some thing close to zero ohms both at the center conductor and the braid at both ends and infinite resistance between the center and the braid first. Can you get your hands on a known good coax long enough to go from the radio to the antenna even if you have to stick it out the window? If this is a home made cable many times I have seen guys cut the braid too long and short it to the center pin when they push it into the 259.
