Default Problem w/radar cable!

i'm curious, does radar just use a standard antenna cable with coax
ends on it or is it something special ?


Most Radar interdeck cables are multiconductor, with one coaxial
cable in a shielded cable. Yes, they can be repaired successfully
if one takes great care, as most of the wires are carrying DC
or power circuits, with a few low frequency AC circuits, like Sweep
Timing, Heading Pulse, and Pulse Trigger. The coax is usually a 75 Ohm
RG59 type cable, that is bringing the baseband video from the receiver
to the display.
