This is the Feed point for my 2 meter quad. Seller hasn't returned my message.

This shrink tubing is sticking out. I want to waterproof the connection, but curious about this. It hollow and you can see some shiny wire or solder at the bottom. The surrounding area is epoxied.

Is this some sort of vent or plain excess. To properly waterproof, I need to trim it flush. I wouldn't think it'd be an issue to completely seal the entire connection. There's no mention in the construction. I started to seal the flange on the SO239 with Scotch 33.

What say?

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
