Autohelm ST50 Radar

Hi.
Bit of a long shot, but I’m looking for a mast cable for my autohelm ST50 Radar if anyone has an old one lying around and your willing to part with it.

As I recall, there's no special plug and socket needed for the radome, it just has spring-loaded wire connectors. So any appropriate 10-core cable would do. If you look at the manual (available online) it gives details of the wiring cores, some are shielded.

Hi. Yes your right. I have a cable but it’s only 4m long. It’s the shielded core I’m struggling with. I’ve managed to find a small enough coax and the 4 single cores are easy enough. I am hoping I can locate an original cable long enough before I go down the route of making a cable.

Can you investigate whether currently-available radome cables have similar cores? I'd bet they do.
