And a third with a locating pin offset from the centre so as to be out of the
plane
of the connectors. If it wasn't for a different impedance then I don't have a
clue why such a connector even existed, unless it was a foolhardy attempt to lock
you
in to a particular manufacturer - breaking the pin made no difference to the
connection...

Most (all?) balanced aerials I see these days have screw connectors, or an
ordinary 75 Ohm connector.
