Crimped F-Types - do they still need to be wrapped in amalgamating tape?

[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 727900, member: 175057"] A good quality well tightened crimp or compression type "F" connector, even if it doesn't have an "O" ring will be pretty much weatherproof, I've disconnected lots of old screw on type "F" connectors which have had no tape weatherproofing and found that the thread has been clean metal, no sign of moisture ingress. But as Satelliteman says, a little bit of Self amalgamating tape won't hurt if your LNB does not have a pull down cover or rubber gaiters. :) [/QUOTE]
