OK... might be solved / dump builder / user. I examined the antenna closely, and it might be that the case I have this is has such a thick wall, that the antenna screw in base, was just barely sticking out enough to have the antenna screw in to it. It might have been loosening up or jiggled around just a bit in the last few months and that is why it has been getting worse and worse.
I only solved this, because I was looking that the signal strength, through YAT, when it wouldn't connect. That was because of you folks pointing that out and me focusing a lot more on it. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I'm not 100% sure this is going to fix it, but it is connecting atm and the signal strength is -64 on average. Which should work fine, but we will see.
