No. In my business we use nothing but 7-16 DIN nowadays and it does not
take long working with them (like 5 minutes) to realize how superior they
are, even if just mechanically (at HF). And of course I have a good supply
on hand, being in the biz.
So when I ran all new hardline out to the towers a few years ago, it was
an easy decision to switch to DINs on the main lines and on jumpers - at
each end of the hardlines - to the point where I encounter a device with a
UHF connector that is inconvenient to replace, like a wattmeter, balun,
etc.
