Amen.  I run the nf bulkhaed, and it goes right into the enclosure.  I can change out bad piggies or go from u.fl to mmcx or add a filter or whatever I want.  No weather proofing needed.   I like it a lot.

electronics and not have to even touch the coax.

I use two layers of tape with the coaxseal in between. This protects the
connectors and allows clean removal of the coaxseal. In addition, the tape
seems to hold up better to the weather than the coaxseal.
To be honest, I'd rather get rid of weather proofing altogether and just 
POE
everywhere. Unfortunately, I have found any good sector antennas with 
radios
build in. Then again, it is lame to replace an antenna due to a bad radio.
The Ubiquiti Bullets have potential for this use but I suspect you still
need to weather proof the connector. Also, whiel they have a lot of
capabilities, I havent found a way to shape individual users bandwidth if
they are used as an AP. I guess migrate bandwidth shaping to the user 
side?

Is the electrical tape just to hold the coax-seal in place?

Coaxseal and good electrical tape. LOL, I had one tower where the 
pigeons
would peck at the connectors, so I added metal foil tape over the
connection. That took care of that!

The only thing we use to seal these connectors is fusion tape from 
GB.
          
I
      
can get it from the local hardware store.  I suspect that this is a
problem.

How is everyone sealing connectors on towers?  This one particular 
site
          
is
      
at 3100ft so it gets wind and cold.  Snow & ice on it for a few 
2-week
periods per year.  Lots of rain during the winter.  It's been the 
worst
          
for
      
coax failures.

I have used custom made ones from Tessco as well as the pre mades
            
ones
      
from
          
Wisp Router and other places.  The last few years I have not had 
any
problems though it may have been due to the fact we put so much 
coax
            
seal
      
around them.  Do you seal it with coax seal (or comparable 
material)?

Anyone else have a problem?

Any recommendations on best source for them?
