I have a lexan feed through panel in one of my windows, I bought it
originally with I think 2 connectors in it but have since added 4 more and
maybe will add a 5th soon. I planned to only use it at the apartment I was
in last but it worked so well where I am now I fun it still, I have 4
SO-239's in it and 2 N connectors. I use the N connectors for 900 MHz.
