| A trick that lowered Cableble Attenuation Just a tip for anyone having Signal loss trouble.
for a wial i was having to go out and clean the ground once a week. I would see 6-7 cable att. I cleaned both ground ends again but this time i put Bulb grease on the ground ends. now i am sitting at 0 Cable Att.
Rx Power: -40.8 dBm
Rx SNR: 12.0 dB
Cable Resistance: 0.5 Ohms
Cable Attenuation 0.0 dB
Tx IF Power: -34.0dBm
Tx RF Power: 20.3dBm
I figured this out by trying it. So i am sharing what learned. |

Dawson Springs, KY | If dielectric grease and self-fusing tape or heat shrink was used in the first place, you wouldn't have to do it at all

Doesn't stop YOU from fixing it correctly. Corroded connectors are hard to clean, so the best solution is to replace the outdoor connectors with quality 3 GHz compression-type. Snap-n-Seal is a good brand. Avoid the push-on or crimp on, they'll start corroding again from Day 1. After installing new connectors, apply the dielectric grease. Reconnect cables. Finally, apply the self-fusing tape or heat shrink. At this point, maximum protection can be achieved by covering both male and female connectors with one continuous length of tape or heat shrink.
