Sounds as though you have a short on the SO-239 (F) on the radio. Examination inside would be my first look-see. Clarity in terminology goes along ways towards understanding. PL-259 is a male connector not normally found on neither radios nor antennas. A "stud" suggest males connector but not in all conversations.
PL-259 are most often on terminal ends of coax which connect to SO-239 on radio and antenna.
