I find N-connectors are the most commonly found connectors for hardline.  
Changing these to UHF is quite easy since the adapters can be found at most 
hamfests for a good price.  I recently got ten new ones for $37.  I didn't check 
for DIN adapters but I imagine they would be pretty cheap also.

For those who want to get the genuine Andrew connectors.......On Ebay, the 
new DIN hardline connectors for 7/8 sometimes go as cheaply as $10. With a $4 
adapter that makes them $14...pretty cheap for hardline connectors.

I have made my own hardline connectors from copper flares, but why go through 
all that work to save eight bucks after you figure in parts.
