Re: [IRCA] CCrane Twin-Coil Ferrite Loop

[Brian Chapel <ve7aul@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Les.

It looks like any other product built for indoor use.

For outdoor installation, manual says to use silicone grease and 
Coax-Seal where the cable connects to the ferrite head unit and to 
similarly seal the perimeter seam and any other place where water might 
get in. A photo shows it installed high on a wall, under the 
over-hanging part of a roof.
