I was able to snag one of these for FREE! Not sure exactly who makes it. I know commscope still makes a 420, but this one is a bit older. only one snag. center pin on the 75 ohm N female is borked and gotta be replaced. (for those who don't know they use 75Ohm RG-11 for the harness)
Might be a long shot but before I go and dump $30 for a new connector anyone got a center pin for a 75ohm N female laying around?

Sorry. Plenty of males, no females.
Typical Ham Radio issue. ;)

$25 for a connector? For an "F" connector? What are they making it out of, gold pressed latinum?
Seriously, though, if you know a ham who works at a broadcast station, or in another RF related professional field, see if they have some of these around.

Actually it is a N type female 75ohm and believe me I checked my local guys. I can get plenty of 50ohm stuff from N to 7/16 DIN to EIA but 75 ohm is a dry bed.$25 for a connector? For an "F" connector? What are they making it out of, gold pressed latinum?

SGJ - This antenna is actually a 16 bay folded dipole. it has dual folded dipoles on each bay in a total of 8 bays of dual folded dipoles. 9.2 db gain in omni or 11.2 db in a offset. the 75 ohm coax is the harness. and to interconnect the 2 sets of 4 dual bays they use 75 ohm connectors. (which is where the N female/75 center pin is borked) some jackass goobered it up thus I ended up with is for free. and plan to use it on my repeater.
I still aint been able to get to the shop to get pics of it. $4 a gal gas kinda kills travel over here.
