Please cite your authority for the "superiority" of "UHF Connectors" to
quality N-Connectors.

I've been making all my own cables for 25+ years.  N-Connectors and BNC
connectors are no harder and "UHF" connectors are not any easier.  If
you've terminated enough cables with most any series connector, it gets
easier.  Has something to do with the right tools and experience.

Bottom Line:  I did not ask anyone to offer an opinion on UHF vs
N-Connectors.  I asked if anyone could tell me the name of the PCB pins
used on the pigtails and a wire/cable spec for the lead.  It only needs
to make sense to me.

Thanks!  And have a super day!
