The gasketed lids are available in clear, smoke (presently from Newark only), and opaque. They come in many sizes. I have been using those for my Beverage antenna enclosures for some time now. You can see photos of them at http://www.w0btu.com/Beverage_antennas.html I fill all the connectors with silicone dielectric compound, and there are NO air vents. I have yet to see moisture get in. I don't have a link or P/N handy, but Mouser (www.mouser.com) and Newark have them. Keep in mind that the larger the enclosure, the more of a chance you have for moist air getting inside. Reason being, there is a larger internal pressure change with a given temperature and/or barometric pressure change. 73 Mike www.w0btu.com _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
