I really appreciate the PMs from Rainman, Halftracknut and 199th MP. Thanks, guys.
There are three cables needed to mount a R442

Thats correct if you are only mounting a R-442 and need to connect to the batteries. The CX-4720 w/4 pin connector is for the RT-524 or 246 where you are going to the mount from the battery. If you are mounting a R-442 alongside an RT, you use the short CX-4721 cable which has the 4 pin plug on both ends, and runs from the RT mount to the R-442 mount. That and the coax cable is all you need for a R-442. The CX-4722 cable is for the RT, it is the control cable to feed commands to the automatic antenna matching circuit on the MX-6707 antenna used with the RT. It doesn't connect to the R-442.
