    (Figure 3-2). The same materials are needed for weatherproofing both types of connections but the procedure is slightly different. For weatherproofing directly connected antennas, see Weatherproofing Antennas Connected Directly to the MSR2000 section. For weatherproofing cable connections, see the Weatherproofing Cable Connections section.
