Yes I agree, something designed to be out in the elements a bit more.

Here is a deck box: Rubbermaid item #3743 or a vertical storage cabinet: Rubbermaid item #3749 I'm not saying these would be 100% waterproof, but I think they would work well enough. I think the last price I saw on the storage cabinet at wally-world was around $100 or so.

Leaves at least a little room to breath and work around, heat may be a factor depending on the cans you use and may send them a bit out of tune from the hot/humid summer months to the cooler less humid winter ones. Maybe a hinged lid for ease of access and a padlock. Worked a several sites I have seen but just a small box, that may be too easy to blow around, steal, no room to work, but depends on where you are putting it as it is all relative. --- On Mon, 10/27/08, Mung Bungholio <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> wrote: From: Mung Bungholio <[EMAIL PROTECTED] com> Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Duplexers To: Repeater-Builder@ yahoogroups. com Date: Monday, October 27, 2008, 9:14 AM Is it OK to get some kind of storage container or something like that and put my duplexer outside? What would be the risks of doing so? I am in Florida so lots of rain and heat but no freezing months or anything like that?
