Thanks for the feedback. We aren't using dielectric, but do use the
butyl / Super88. Both sets of connectors face down, so I would be
really surprised if water got in the cables. It baffles me that one
connection remains good while the other tanks.

I've seen this happen in other frequencies/situations, and it is
usually water in the cable. Do you use dielectic grease on the RF
side? We started doing that a long time ago and have not had these
types of issues since.

We're using an Alpha omni on PMP450, but 2.4 GHz. We have not
seen any significant change in weather other than when trees are
in the way.

I deployed a 3.65 Omni antenna attached to a 450AP about 2
weeks ago. Two SM's on it that are geographically opposite
from each other (one faces West, the other East). Two minor
rain events have happened since, and each time the West facing
SM loses >10dB. A day or two after the first rain event the
connection cleared up on it's own. The SM facing East is
unaffected.
Under the radome of this Omni, I assume there are four 90
degree antennas. Is it possible water is penetrating the omni
and affecting only one side?
