Re: [WISPA] Dielectric Grease

[Erik Anderson]

  
  
In a dusty (or bug ridden) location,
  dielectric on cat-5 can save you truck rolls. Often the problem
  does not occur for about two years, but dielectric does seem to
  keep the grit out of the connection.
  
  Moisture causing corrosion? I have not had many of those problems
  either with or without dielectric unless equipment was installed
  in a really poor location. 
  
  That said, having a problem at the radio itself is a rarity.
  Having the problem at a surge is much more likely. At the radio,
  ants are the most common culprit for high CRCs, and even that does
  not happen very often.

Perhaps you could contact them to see about acquiring their business? Do
you have contact information for them?
