[R-390] Gender of connectors

[sdaitch at mor.ibb.gov]

Don't forget there are also reverse gender connectors available and used for specialized purposes.  

The normal convention for the BNC series is the male connector has the outside twist-on structure and the female connector has the bayonet pins.

Reverse gender BNCs would have the center conductor genders reversed.
