Hi all. I to have used the dow stuff for years. It is "4 Compound" I believe it is the same as the goop that andrews supply with their hardline connectors. Just about all the outdoor connectors that I have used over the past 30 years has had it in the connecting faces as well as inside the body. I have used it in the electrical joints on my boat trailer and on my 4 wheel motor bike(this is where faults apear in time). Cheers from down under. Ps I am making a portable repeater on 460mhz 10/15 watts and would like not to use a diplexer can you advise the solution. Maybe a tx groundplane with a solid disk and have the rx ant hanging directly below ie 180 degree to each other. The ch spacing is 500khz. I would use a foil or at least a double sheilded cable for each feed. See ya
