Dennis - Is the J-pole suspended from a tree, or in close proximity (less than 3 ft)?
I had a similar experience where one HT wouldn’t hit one of the three nearby 2m repeaters. Lowering the J-Pole a few feet away from the supporting limb made a significant difference. Other 2m repeaters seemed unaffected. Other radios seemed unaffected. Once I found an answer, I stopped looking for other solutions, so no, not a full scientific work-up.

I have 3 UV-5R's
All three of them need their own *.img file because they have different firmwares.
They are all programmed with same channels and settings and all work fairly well for what I need.
However, believe it or not, one of them WILL NOT work with my J-Pole antenna. When I say 'will not work' I mean I can't hit any of the repeaters I normally use. It works perfectly, in fact really well with supplied antenna and with my dual band home made ground plane. With my MFJ power meter it also shows a full watt more output power than the other 2?
Is there anything in my programming the phone that could cause this?
