Chris,

My club station used 7/16 DIN and Heliax all the way to the underside of 
the operating desks, through the protectors and patch bay.   For the 
baluns at the antenna, we have swapped connectors, or ordered equipment 
with a 7/16 DIN female.  A short 9913-F7 coax whip with a male UHF on 
the radio end, makes the transition to the radio.

Here's the nearly complete patch bay.  DXF files are available if anyone 
want them.  http://n2mo.org/temp/thumb_1205151434.jpg
