When I was recently testing some Collins gear, built between 
1960 and 1975 for a local woman who inherited it and wanted to 
sell it, I noticed that the RF connections were RCA jacks. The 
RF output from the transmitter which was rated 160 watts input 
to the final amplifier was a RCA jack. (The manual said it was 
about 100 watts output.) The only exception was the high power 
amp which had RCA for input and N for output. How things have changed.
