Belated HNY, Listers,
I am having the standing rigging [rod] on my '91 30-2 re-done [hopefully,
re-headed].
Now that the mast is down, I am looking to replacement of all the wiring and
running rigging.
Regarding the VHF cabling, I am "hearing" that "LMR-400" is superior to other
alternatives

Kelly,
Here's how I install antennas.

Pete — I did this last spring; and I’m one of the ones you’re “hearing” about
LMR-400 cable. LMR-400 has tight specs, so you’re likely seeing different
variations in connectors or manufacturers; but all the LMR-400 cable should be
identical in performance, with the exception of the highly-flexi
There are some differences in LMR400 that you need to look out for. Most
importantly, it comes in both 50 and 75 ohm impedance ratings. You need the 50
ohm version. Secondly, regular LMR400 is pretty stiff, so if you need it to
turn somewhat sharp corners (at the masthead / mast base) then yo
Hello all, I'm in the process of replacing all my hatches. I've removed them
and trying to clean the surface where they bed. I have the de-bond marine
product. I applied that and scraped again but, there is still residue.
Anyone have a secret method to get that surface clean? I'm going to t
get a 1" chisel, very carefully use it to scrape the surface clean. It might
be best to round off the corners of the chisel if you are not sure of your
hand...

While LMR400 is significantly lower loss than say RG8x the limiting factor in
VHF communications is still antenna height not power output. For example the
range you could expect for a typical sailboat with an antenna height of 64’.
d = 1.2246 ∗ √hf
d = 1.2246 ∗ √64
d = 1.2246 ∗ 8
d = 9.796 NM.
I've been carefully scraping with a single edge razor blade. It still leaves a
residue...
I'm thinking the caulk is probably silicone.

McKanica makes a silicone remover that has worked very well for me. It's a gel
that you put on the silicone. After an hour or so it breaks down and comes
right off. It's on Amazon.

Another reason to use good quality butyl tape IMHO. The old usually peels off
easily and can be replaced with new without further cleaning of the surface.
Since it doesn't come out of a tube like most caulks but comes off a roll,
there is minimal mess in applying it and cleaning up the excess.
You're preaching to the converted there. I bed everything with butyl now

Funny, I started this same project literally just today. Must be the season
for mast-out work.
I also read the Internet boards where a few people talked up LMR-400.
Decide to go with Ancor RG213, because it's the same size as what I'm
replacing, and it sounds like LMR-400 is overkill for marine VH
