The Pixel Loop (now DXE PRO LOOP) has an out door preamp that is fed power over the coax. the voltage is 20VDC fed over the RG6 which is mated to a standard chassis type F jack. In my installation near the ocean my loop has failed twice at this junction point. The centre conductor and the F jack are essentially burned black or brown. Just took it out of service today fo second time with same fault.
I am using my standard water proofing methods of tape and a generous cocoon of duc seal water proof putty. the power is fed to the bottom of the preamp box so it is somewhat protected but still failing. the drain holes are not obstructed. Has anyone else encountered this failure with the Pixel Loop? 73 Frank VO1HP _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
