I recently purchased a well equiped 231. I'm finishing my IFR but we can't pick up a VOR or ILS until about 5-7 miles from them. Took to local avionics shop and they pulled the 530, HSI and everything looked good. They used a signal generator on the ground and had no problems. I pulled panels and checked antenna connections and appeared to be fine. I has the towel bar antenna. Someone suggested they could of lost there ground to the airframe, but they seem to be rivited on. How would you check this?
