Oh, on all of our dishes, yes. But can't do much for the grids but pray.
We don't use the grids on the towers anymore it's either panel or dish
with radome.

 Anyone ever have any water get into a pacwireless 5ghz grid feedhorn?
 Had a
 new site yesterday go through its first heavy rain and signal dropped
to
 -90. Went through everything, replaced radio, pigtail, coax, and
nothing
 helped. Sun came out and signal came back to -69. 

  

 Will Pacwireless replace this feedhorn for warranty?

What if the feedhorn is coated with ice? Seems to me that whenever we get
ice my 24db 2.4 grids stop working on the longer links.

 Check the feedhorn for cracks.   We have had a few PacWireless units
 (dishes and grids) that were damaged by hail or dropping ice and
 developed hairline cracks that caused them to stop working in wet weather.

Well I am open to possibilities but the other side of the link has been up
for well over a year without a hiccup. It has radio's mounted at the bottom
and I replaced all the stuff at the bottom and I climbed up and re-sealed
the connector on the antenna, (29db dish) and it was all fine.

Depends on the design.  Most of the lower cost WISP antennas are fed with a 
slotted dipole covered by a plastic cover.  Those should be OK.

 Will Pacwireless replace this feedhorn for warranty?

No, they stay reflectors.  But Yagis have a huge problem when coated with 
ice.

 Don't grids stop working when they coat up with ice?

 Check the feedhorn for cracks.   We have had a few PacWireless units
 (dishes and grids) that were damaged by hail or dropping ice and
 developed hairline cracks that caused them to stop working in wet weather.
