    RP-TNC / TNC, why not more popular in Amateur Radio?

    I recently got done working on a system with some Persistent MPU5's and FRPA GPS antennas. All of the connectors were RP-TNC or TNC. A quick comparison of the TNC's against N connectors from this Amphenol Flyer (https://www.mouser.com/pdfdocs/AmphenolRuggedBrochure.pdf) doesn't show much of a...
