Yes, that is an option. However if someone accidentically removes
Bminus connector before Bplus connector and the interchassis ground
strip has been disconnected or has a bad connection, the whole RF deck
could rest at Bpluss. I would like a bullet proof and "contest proof"
solution. One thing that could be dangerous about the SHV connector is
that someone (not me) can try to plug it into an existing BNC socket,
however I guess that is not possible without force due to the design
of the connector.
