Would using a plastic hose sleeve over the antenna cord help with the moisture problem or would that interfer with reception/

Good question. I don't know. I thought about it, but i ordered a new one. If you use a thin sleve it shouldn't.

Enclosing it in plastic may cause moisture to be trapped inside the tube and cause damage. If you use a dryer for your hearing aids put that device in there as well to help with moisture.

TVA's comments are accurate and yes, it would most likely interfere with reception as well.

We have an atenna that sticks up to some degree but our Air Conditioner is higher so it doesn't affect the radio antenna or tv atenna.

This would mostly depend on the quality of your antenna, it's correct orientation and how high up you can mount it. You might also try an amplified antenna. Hills, obstructions and weather will also adversely effect your reception.

If I am following you correctly in what you are trying to accomplish, why not just take out the entire mast and rotation/attenuator hardware and replace the entire antenna system with the fixed Jack Antenna HDTV System, Model #OA8200. It has a built in amplifier and signal meter. Instead of cutting the mast and modifying it for fitment. It will be lower or as low as the the A/C Unit on the roof. Assuming you have one.

I would replace your coax cable with a secure connection. That should solve your reception problems!

I have not installed it yet. I am using the regular Mohu antenna and have aluminum siding without problems.

An indoor antenna probably won't work due to aluminum siding. Might have to consider a roof top antenna.

One end of the coax is fastened to the antenna on the exterior of the RV. You need to use a coax that is weather resistant.

I think it is best to treat it as an indoor antenna. The main skin/coating of the antenna is a contiguous piece of plastic down to the bottom of the base, but the base is not sealed. Since it is not apparently designed to be weatherproof, I would suspect the antenna coating and the wire would not be UV-resistant either.

I wouldn't suggest it. This radio is cased in wood (MDF with a veneer), which I think would not stand up well to moisture. Better to find a radio with a plastic case, or, ideally, one designed for a wet environment.

I have mine under the awning and we haven't had a problem with moisture. I don't think it's water resistant.

A Dome does not affect wireless signal strength. I am not in the humid environments but i can see via Dome at day time after a raining day. It is not sealed perfectly so i think it works fine with wet locale.

You could try a small antenna outside & it should help but I have a full size antenna which depending on the day gives me any where from 35 to 60 % antenna strength. Depends ob how windy it is that day. Wind is a factor in the reception.

I have tried (even with a the high gain antenna) but home insulation with a metal backing may prevent wireless communication. The housing is not weather resistant but would work under a overhang.

I wud not cut a hole in the top & run a cable or wires thru the top because you don't want rain / water to enter the box. If you punch out a hole in the bottom, rain will not flow up into the box.

I agree. I bought a better antenna and it works as good as any handheld I've had or had experience with. WELL worth the money!

Is there anyway you could wrap tape around the plug in the car? That should prevent moisture from shorting out the plug. I never use mine in the rain for that possibility!
