Guys Wondering if anyone has experimented with rolling a small rubber O ring on the end of an SO239 connector before putting the PL259 on it? It seems that if you got the right size O ring it could s

PL259s leak at both ends. I prefer to use flooded heat shrink over the whole thing. It adds lots of strength too. Wrapping them with a layer of tape, sticky side out under tension keeps them pretty a

Timely question. I've been wondering about how to waterproof the shell of a PL259 to the flange of an SO239. I rolled out a thin "string" of black coax seal and made an "o ring" to go on the SO239 an

I like the self-fusing silicon tape. You can wind it so it forms a flange against a bulk-head connector. I cover mine with a layer of Scotch 88 or 33 for xtra UV protection. https://www.youtube.com/w

Roger that, Roger. I was wondering when someone would mention the other end. You can unscrew the threaded part all the way and put sealing material where it will seal the gap as the threaded portion
