Yes, Amphenol makes a male BNC connector for RG-213-sized
cables. I don't know the number and I'm away from my "stock"
so I can't give you the number.
On the matter of changing to Type "N" ... I also made the change
to "N"s a few years ago. Yes, "N"s are more difficult to put on cable,
but they are more water resistant, by design they're easier to keep
tight ... and more importantly, of constant impedance. SO-239's are
NOT 50-ohm connectors, and this can be very important in some
situations.
In a contest ... or VHF/UHF station ... every fraction of a db counts!
(:-))
You'll not get away with using SO-239's in a situation where impedance
is critical, as in a power divider, VHF/UHF bridge, etc. In some cases,
a rule-of-thumb says that every '239 connection can cost you .5 db.
