Overview
Housing Gaskets
Each housing is equipped with a recessed woven-wire RF gasket and a silicone-rubber weather
gasket to provide a seal between the housing base and lid (Figure 2-6). These gaskets provide
efficient ground continuity, RF shielding, and weather protection. Both gaskets must be in place
and in good condition to ensure proper operation and protection of the station. The weather
gasket should be lightly coated with silicone grease each time the amplifier is opened. Replace
this gasket if it becomes damaged or deformed.
Figure 2-6 illustrates the housing gaskets:
