No.
For really high power at UHF and above, I recommend 7/16" DIN
connectors. The centyer pin is larger and doesn't tend to arc/melt
above 500 watts at these frequencies. Teflon insulated silver uhf
connectors can be used up to 1000 MHz. They are not a constant Z but
unless you are running video or another extreamly wide signal a
non-constant Z isn't all that important for most analog signals. The
antenna isn't a constant Z either.
Just my opinion. YMMV prices less VAT, etc.,etc.
