I have never used 7/16 DIN connectors. It seems impossible to find an
adapter to go from 7/16 DIN to UHF. As hams, we need to plug into our rigs
and antennas with UHF connectors - How do you jump the gap??

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.
