3.0 out of 5 stars TV antenna transformer, September 25, 2011

The 300 ohm - twin-lead side allows water to infiltrate into the transformer tubular housing. Not really suitable for outdoor use. I sealed that end with RTV to weatherproof it for rooftop installation. The spade lugs rusted after about a week of exposure. I suggest spraying the terminals with clear enamel after tightening terminal screws.

This item sucked. I inadvertently pulled the 300 ohm wires out of the transformer about 2 minutes after opening the package. I wasn't even rough with it. Poor quality and durability. I can only imagine how well this would've held up attached to my antenna in the storms we have here (60 mph gusts common). Went to a brick and mortar and bought one for a little more that was way better quality and much better durability.

The unit is not really an outdoor unit although it is described as such. The boot does not look as if it would be waterproof and would require some sort of sealent to be used to prevent any corrosion, so be prepared with this before you climb to the top of your mast to install this unit. The other problem is the terminals, these do not look as if they are corrosion proof. I would suggest that you cut the terminals off completely and use the copper wire to terminate on your antenna. Alternatively terminate with some kind of corrosion proof plated terminals. So if you are armed with some waterproof sealant and some corrosion proof terminals this unit may be for you! I have bought three on the units but it is not worth me returning them. The postage for the three units was more than the units were worth in the first place. Unfortunately you cannot buy these units in the UK.
