Are you talking about that white non-adhesive stuff used for plumbing? And what did he do, wrap it on the actual threads of the connector, like two pieces of water pipe? Or over the top after it was assembled? The latter doesn't sound like it would be a problem, might even be a halfway decent idea-with the usual coax-seal or whatever over it, and real type 33 or similar over that. The teflon tape would be an additional layer of protection, plus it would keep the coax-seal from sticking to the connector if/when removed. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL Yahoo!

NOPE he HAD wrapped the threads like you would do to a water pipe... causing no connection between the two connectors..
