As a long time electronics professional, I have learned that this kind of problem is often caused by poor connections.
Thus the first step is to unplug and replug the antenna connectors on the back of the radio. Often, just the remove and insert on the connector pins is enough to wipe off any corrosion. If you can get to them, do the same for ny connectors between the radio and the antenna.
If that doesn't work, use a the contact cleaner Caig Deoxit D5 on the contact pins. DO NOT use any other brand of contact cleaner other than D5 for they often damage the connector.
