YES!
Recently replaced a new DB-224 that had wicked water in the molded harness
section and ended up inside the connector. Upon receiving a replacement
antenna, we sealed the heck out of the harness with vapor wrap before
installation. This one seems to be holding up for now, for now knock on
I had a DB-224 that had been up for 20+ years and
found the same thing. It was not upside down but one
of the coax center conductors had disentegrated inside
one of those moulded junctions. I cut it open and
there was nothing left of the center conductor.
It is still in service with the top
Condensation?

Hello All,
From what I have seen the quality is the same but I have been preaching on
this board and others you can’t install a DB antenna
to you as well as it does the antennas.

If by inverted you mean the antenna is mounted upside down then the drain holes
for condensation are pointing up instead of down. And the water trapped inside
would not be able to drain out. Paul
