Sounds like the antenna is bad. Is this a sail boat? A 3 db antenna
isn't giving you much gain at all. Is the problem while under sail
with the boat healed over? Sail boats have problems while under sail
with radio's.
A 3db antenna is always used on sailboats, precisely because it
tolerates heel. With a 3db 56 feet off the water, he should have 20
miles range easily.
