Had same problem on an '08 Ultra. Found a nick in the antenna cable insulation up by the forks. Bought a new cable from dealer and it fixed the problem.

Definitely check your cable and connections, has to be something simple.

I cut about a 1/4 of the length off of my 12 sg antenna and slid it into the tunnel of the tank and it still works great. Check and make sure the cable is plugged in tight
