container needed for tuner

Depending on the size needed I used a truckbed "Job Box".  A big box that is
typically mounted in the bed of a pickup to hold tools.  Attached is a link 
to
some pics when it was just going in at our house.  Three years later, no 
issues,
it's dry and has easy access with a lift top.

container
needed for tuner

The TUPPERWARE containers lasted about 2 years at my QTH, then they got 
brittle
and cracked apart... but for $9 was a good try!
The grey plastic electrical boxes available at Lowes / Home Depot for about 
$25
might be a good bet...
They come with a rubber seal around the edges of a lid that screws on 
tight...
BUT... you need to put an opening for the cables... suggest you simply cut a
hole in the BOTTOM...
Perhaps glue a PVC pipe section into the hole if you want more than that...
Tightly sealed containers can lead to pressure differences with temperature 
and
barometric changes, and a hole lets the water from condensation OUT!

Last summer, I replaced all the TUPPERWARE boxes that surrounded junction 
points
at the base of towers, and installed these boxes around coax switches that 
were
out in the weather for 5 years...  If the tuner fits in it OK, you will 
probably
have a good choice there...

I want to mount an SGC-239 tuner on the tower below a vertical.  but I need 
a UV
proof, sealed, water tight container that I can put the tuner inside - and 
then
put that tuner in a tupperware? into another container if it can be
found.   And all of this as cheap as possible.

I think that NMEA cases are just too expensive but that might have to be the 
end
choice.

thanks
