## This argument about the captivated pin vs non captivated pin has been
going on for
decades now.
_______________Whatever....
## For amateur use, why mess with Type N connectors in the 1st place. The
Type N is good
up to about 12 ghz, which is the only thing going for it. 7-16 Dins are
good up to 6 ghz..
____________Because most amateur antennas have UHF or N connectors.
## another new connector is the 4.1 - 9.5 connector. Good up to 14 ghz.
Excellent pim.
## To further add to the confusion, at one time they also made a 12-32
connector..which was huge,
and no longer made.
## For amateur use, at any freq, the type N is dead last on any list.
IMO, anything is better than a type N.
A type N installed on .875 or bigger heliax is a joke. BNC sized pin on a
large diameter copper tube.
_______________Use a lossy adapter then.
## Type N has gone the way of the do-do bird..along with LC connectors.
______________Sure it has....
