    Is this a type "N" jack?

    I was given an oldie but goodie signal generator that has this type of jack on it:

    Is this a type N?

    Here's a pic of the signal generator, btw. Can't find a manual for it on the internets, tho.

    It's a Measurements Corp. Model 82 Serial 486 mfd in Boonton, NJ.

    You do have to have an "N" call to use one though. You know. Be a part of the "N" crowd.

    Yep, that's an N connector. They are a big improvement over the UHF connectors us hams use.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    It's a type-N female connector. Just connect the male and you're in business:

    Here on the Island, we don't discriminate on the basis of gender preference. If he wants to connect another female connector to his signal generator, that's perfectly fine.

    Do they make an adapter for that?
