The 4.3-10 mini-DIN connector that KG2V referred to is not much larger than
a PL-259/SO-259. It has a M20 (~Ø7/8) thread and a SO-239 has a Ø5/8
thread. I considered using them and even purchased a few but never used
them.

Who wants to push for a change? Those DINs are BIG so burn lots of
panel real estate, and expensive. Their broad use is in commercial
systems that run at high UHF. At 2M and below, I could care less. I'm an
ENGINEER who understands transmission lines, not a lab rat who doesn't.
