They get condensation in them and they can leak down into the RF connector. Just had one in here that was taken down that was leaking. Visually looked perfect.

I have an issue with an AP where everyone has decent signal but throughput is suffering (decent down capacity, crappy up capacity). Usually I have never had ice on these antennas. I did however use to have an icing issue on a smoother 5.7 AP 4 winters ago where I de-iced a few times a day, maybe a total of 20 times that season, on the same tower. This antenna has a rough texture, but I have never, that I know of, had an ice issue on it before. I have a guy trying to determine from the ground if he can detect ice, but it’s a 175 foot climb. It’s a better day than today to climb for sure anyways, just curious if others who may use this antenna has had the issue thanks heith
