Thanks for the Wikipedia link, I will look at it after I log off today.
The N plug i
I recall was used on a Receiver Antenna Patch Panel to connect various RX to
Antenna
I left the Navy in 1962 .

Haven't looked at any AmateurRadio Store web pages to know what is available
now 

I have had this phone almost 2 years now and haven't thought to see what is
available now 

Lost DSL service in 2022 (i think).

Thanks for Educating Ed about the modern N plug has threads.
I will never get to become a Mister Know It All how much I try.
