Does anyone have a solution to cutting the radar cable at the foot of the mast so the mast can be unstepped? The radar engineer says cable problems are the most common cause of radar faults and urges not to break the cable. The rigger says, cut it and use a chocolate bar connector. Having had problems with my previous installation that had a break in it, I've played safe and followed the radar engineer's advice. But having today spent several hours up and down the re-stepped mast feeding the cable through and making the connection to the radome that involved undoing about 15 small screws while up the mast, I couldn't help wondering if there was an easier way. Isn't there a plug that will handle the 15 small wires plus very thin dialectic (??)
Well at least it took my mind off brexit for a while......
