Nope! My Wavetek sig gen uses type N.  Bird watt meters use type N.
Some dummy loads use type C.  The list goes on.

Some Collins transmitters used RCA connectors.

Not only is it too easy to damage the center pin/socket, BNC is a "clamp"
type connector and is prone to improper assembly.  Having "grown up" with
Heathkit, I would rather have RCA connectors - the old kind where the shield
can be soldered all the way around - than BNC connectors on RF devices below
50 MHz and less than 50 Watts.

In effect now we are forced to need adapters.

Do you think BNC connection is not suitable from an engineering
perspective?
