The Mastr II mobile has never been my favorite for repeater conversions, as I always get exciter to LO coupling resulting in TX spurs & RX desense. But for the ones I've done I use the existing SO239 for the RX connection & pop a hole in the side of the chassis right next to the antenna relay & mount a coax-fed BNC bulkhead there. The coax run from the TX RCA connector to that connector is very short. I think I used RG-223 for that run but since it's so short I doubt the shielding matters. Bob NO6B
