Hi all.
I to have used the dow stuff for years.
It is "4 Compound" I believe it is the same as the goop that andrews supply
with their hardline connectors.
Just about all the outdoor connectors that I have used over the past 30
years has had it in the connecting faces as well as inside the body.
I have used it in the electrical joints on my boat trailer and on my 4 wheel
motor bike(this is where faults apear in time).
Cheers from down under.
Ps I am making a portable repeater on 460mhz 10/15 watts and would like not
to use a diplexer can you advise the solution.
Maybe a tx groundplane with a solid disk and have the rx ant hanging
directly below ie 180 degree to each other.
The ch spacing is 500khz.
I would use a foil or at least a double sheilded cable for each feed.
See ya
