Hi Enzo.
If you run it with either the FUNcube dashboard or preferably SDR# you will be able to see what type of problem you have from the spectrum display. Enter the frequency for a known local signal....beacon / repeater / airport etc. and you'll be able to see if you have any signal at all.
Turning the bias tee on and off will show if you have problems communicating with it. - Just see if you get 5V on the SMA. Or you can turn the LNA on and off, this will increase or decrease the noise level from your speakers
Weaker than usual signals on the expected frequency ( - 30/40dB) can indicate either mechanical damage from excessive pressure to the SMA. (This can crack a SMD capacitor) Or a blown front end MMIC which can happen if its been transmitted into.....Although they are surprisingly rugged to RF.
Thanks
