A xxxx and his money are easily separated. In many respects, UHF 
connectors are superior to Type N -- certainly with respect to power 
handling, and the well known Type N issue with "creep" as the cable 
stretches.

7/16-in connectors are certainly a fine connector, but they are not 
cheap, and the UHF-series is entirely satisfactory for use below 100 MHz 
in PRACTICAL systems. (caps added for emphasis).
