[C320-list] VHF Cable in Mast

[sail-ability sail-ability]

I would use the LMR-400 VHF coax cable. It has the lowest losses for 
that length of run. The antenna and radio connectors are PL-295, at the 
mast basest is a PL-258 double female. These connectors are solder on, 
many now are crimp into the shield wire and they are easy to install but 
can be prone to failure.

          Sometime this summer I am going to take the mast down and
  among other things I want to replace the VHF cable. I am assuming 42 
feet
  long. What ends should I need if everything is standard? Male Male? 
Female
  Female? Male Female? I there a specific type of cable I should use?

  Thank you
