NS2's and other outdoor radios can take care of themselves. I add a little seal 
around the cable exit on the bottom of the cover. The bullets make me a little 
nervous - I don't trust the grommet that comes with them - a little sealer on 
the back at the cable exit is a good idea.

This is how I was taught for RF connectors

3 layer process:
Layer 1 - 3M Super33 or Super88 electrical tape over the entire connection 
extending 2" past the shrink wrap at both ends
Layer 2 - 3M Mastic 2229 over the electrical tape - squeeze repeatedly to 
conform all of the seams to one contiguous seal
Layer 3 - 3M Super33 or Super88 over the Mastic - this is to keep the mastic in 
place and for UV protection

Hey All,

So how do you guys avoid getting water/moisture in your gear?

I'm going to be standing up a 9 end-point network, with some Ubiquiti 
(Bullet2, Nanostation) gear, Directional & H-Pol Omni antennas, 
Polyphasers, Ethernet Lightning Arrestors, etc,.  I'm not going to be 
able to travel to the site again in at least a year; its a rainy part of 
the world, so I'd like to prevent any damage to the gear as much as 
possible.

Anything I should do to prevent moisture from getting into the gear? Or 
other protective measures... Teflon on the coax connectors, Electrical 
Tape on the Edges of the gear?  If there was a place I could see some 
pictures of the implementations that would be good too.

-Israel
