[Milsurplus] Antenna Connector Question

[D C Macdonald]

The "bayonet N" is the "C" connector, my all time
favorite.  Waterproof like N and quick disconnect
to boot.  I changed all the coax patch panels at
the Tinker AFB MARS station from N to C.  Only
way to keep the 293XXs from twisting off the N
connectors since they  WOULD NOT  loosen the
N connector before moving a cable to another jack.

With Cinch-Jones for rotor & remote antenna switch
control and C connectors for RF on my panel, total
disconnect of everything took less than 30 seconds!

So was the military or at least the USAF.  GRT-3 and GRC-27 UHF
transmitters used them.  Both are capable of 100 watts.  GRA-53 / 54.
URC-9 and others used the bayonet N connector.  They were capable of 16
watts at UHF.  Well, at least that is what I remember and that is my
story and I'm sticking to it, until I'm corrected of course!
