I would check the antenna, coax and the connector going into your Ht.

It may be as simple as a bad connector/ adaptor.

I have an ICOM W32A HT. Whenever I try to connect an external antenna
(such
as an Arrow Satellite Antenna) I get no TX or RX. It seems to work fine
with
the rubber duck. Anyone else had this problem? Do you think the radio
needs
repair? Thanks! This is my FIRST post on this newsgroup. KE5IQM
