I remember N connectors being used when I was a USNavy Radioman years ago.
The N plugs could be connected or removed bt gripping a "collar" near the front
ofthe plug and pulling the "collar" back to quickly Connect or Disconnect the
plug to/from a Antenna Patch Panel in the Ships Radio Room.

N connectors coccections are Fast compared to twisting a PL-259 plug onto a
SO-239 chassiscon ector.

At least that is what I recall doing.

Pull, Push release to either make a connection, or to remove the connection. HTH
