[TenTec] [Boatanchors] Bird Termaline 50 Ohm load - 82A - Need adapter

[LARRY D GODEK]

Well the type connector that i have on a piece of RG-17 is anAmphenol 82-325 which translates to either the HN or C, not sure which.  So many connectors, so many names, so little time!  The above connector does not fit into an "N" type as it appears it's one step bigger.
