Do these have any switching in them? That would change the enclosure. I have both of mine in a plastic electrical box mounted at the top of the tower.

I recently built two low noise amplifiers (2 m and 70 cm) for satellite work, hoping to mount them right at the antennas.  They are in small Hammond die cast aluminum boxes.  To mount the boards inside, I had to drill several 4-40 thru holes through each box.  I’m worried about slow water seepage through these screw holes.  Can you suggest a good way to seal them?

Thanks!
