Anybody is using silicone grease for outside connectors?
Nice to know there are some other tip and ring guys here.
Tip and ring??? What's that IP address and subnet?

... I use 3M liner less rubber splicing tape topped with 3M Super 88 on all my connections. Works well and doesn't make a mess if you do need to take it apart.
Reading this thread reminds me of the countless mobile radio antennas that I have had to clean because someone thought it was a good idea to fill the whole underside of the antenna with grease and then thread it on to the mount, causing the center pin to turn black. Use it on the threads, not the center pin!
