By the way... These caps also fit the mic connector on the front of the
K3...
I use them extensively on all outdoor SO-239s, and one on the mic cover
for the K3. :)
If you sign up for the mail list at American Radio Supply, they will
send you a coupon for 10 bucks off a 25 buck order fairly routinely...
They are good folks, care about customer support, and in general provide
a very good product for a good price.
I also use their PL-259s, and adapters for 8x, and they take solder, and
hold up well...

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Waterproof SO-239 covers
American Radio Supply sells metal covers that thread onto SO-239, and
have a soft rubber insert. I have been using them on outdoor connectors
for years now, and they work well...

I would use Coax Seal. Same idea as duct seal but it's more pliable,
more wx resistant and a little stickier. It will last forever, never
hardens and can be peeled off when needed. Might want to screw pl-259
shells onto the socket threads first, then seal them. The sockets &
shells will be pristine when you go to use them.

I wrap some duct seal putty around mine. Get it at Home Depot for
cheap. Works fine. I forget what I paid, around $2-3 for a brick of it
I think. Stays soft and pliable.

I just built a window antenna feedthrough panel, and want some

that even the ones advertised to be waterproof are in fact not
waterproof.
Anyone have a source for ones that are?
