Do you have the S-9 in a vehicle or set up as a base?
Will it transmit? SWR???
Do you see signals present on the rf meter?
Try a different antenna?
Try a different radio on the suspect antenna?
Do you have an amp inline? Remove the amp?
Try removing the mic to rule out faulty mic wiring?
If the antenna took a direct lightning hit you would know it but an indirect hit could damage basically everything in the radio to just a couple of componets.
Could be a blown receive RF amp transistor, especially if the radio was on during intense lightning. That would be my guess without further info.
KEEP IT REAL!

it is fixed it is a freinds radio. i guess she had the antenna unhooked during the storm and the concusion from the thunder( lightning hit around 50 feet away)disconnected the speaker, both wires were melted slightly but i do belive it shook them losse considering her rear window was blown out by that strike it could have been worse
