Came across a funny today - a DAB tuner with the input F socket 'square'

won't grip tightly - even with the nut tight the body still spins round.
Can't do much for the signal.

Not sure I understand, I thought they were all square

I think you will find that Dave was referring to the end of the socket
being square, you can see a slight chamfer on the end of the ones in
this photo.
