Default radar installation - cable path

Shouldn't be anything wrong with putting an interconnection in the
radar multicore as long as it stays clean and dry, but remember that
the co-ax is an impedance matched RF cable and so a suitable RF
connector should always be used for this core and its braided screen
(BNC, SMA, N-Type etc) these can be bought from any electronics
caltalogue or shop.

The coax cable is for DATA, not RF. The whole receiver is up in the dome,
these days, and just ships video data to the "display units" below.....

Yeah, I remember when IF came down the mast in the coax, myself....(c;
Old farts....
