REFLECTOR: radio problems

[TimRhod at aol.com]

Fellow builders:
I am building a Velocity XLRG.  I wonder if you could make some suggestions 
to help me to trouble shoot a radio problem Im having. I have  Garmin CNX-80  
and SL-30 radios.   I am able to transmit fine but both radios will only 
recieve if you are within several hundred feet. Beyond that no reception.  I have 
dipole  antennas,  nav and comm in each wing that were prebuilt so I have no 
acess to the antennas Each wing has one comm and one nav antenna.  Each radio is 
connected to a different antenna,  right and left wing.  Im not sure which 
antenna is the nav and which is the comm but I tried both , one working better 
than the other but neither one beyond a few hundred feet. From the RG-58 cable 
comming from the wing I have a connection in the strake to RG-400 cable that 
runs to the radio with one more connection about a foot behind the radio from a 
prewired radio stack. I would appreciate any input you could suggest.    
Thanks Tim
