1  eHam Forums / Mobile Ham / Leaky Coax? on: September 27, 2000, 09:46:51 AM
Been very rainy in these parts lately.  Inadvertently gave my underdash radio a good kick the other day and so I reached down to check my connections. Horror! Water drops on the antenna SO-239 coaxial connector.  No underdash leaks, and no water sneaking down the outside of the coax.  Dried the connector thinking maybe I had "kicked" some water up under there, but checked later in the day.  Additional horror!  More water drops.  Replaced the magmount/coax feed.  No more water drops.  So, can coax really wick water (assuming water was getting in at the magmount itself)? Is this just a strange condensation issue?  Or what?  I can't figure it, and would appreciate the collective wisdom of this group.  Thanks.
