For what ever it might be worth, I use 7/16 DIN connectors instead of either UHF or type N connectors. Once I have connected a jumper to the back of a rig, I then use only 7/16 DINs all the way to my SteppIr. My DB36 also uses a 7/16 DIN as I use a custom balun from Array Solutions.
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).
