[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1058191, member: 176704"] I know that screw-on connectors do work, but they do have a problem with weatherproofing - even when wrapped as well as I could with s/a tape - as I found signs of corrosion after dismantling some recently. Use of silicone grease in the connectors and slide on covers are often recommended, but the grease makes it very difficult to get s/a tape to adhere as it's very difficult to remove any external traces of the grease, and slide-on covers aren't that great either. Also it's quite difficult to use either combo on LNB connectors, especially below DiSeQC motors. OTOH, if I could find decent crimp connectors/tools that make very secure connections then I could use the grease and slide-on connectors over the connections. [/QUOTE]
