[TowerTalk] Connectors and Legal Actions

[Don W7WLL]

Before I ask my question, it has been interesting to read the wide set of positions on what folks think a manufacturer could or should do when someone disses their product. 

I agree that we all have a right to take legal action, but don’t think one should first tackle the problem through other more suitable methods. To often lawsuits are, IMHO, frivolous. These actions tie up courts and the supporting staff that we support through taxes, wasting some pretty expensive resources better spent on issues more important, like dealing with crime (as an example).

The question – What are the drawbacks, if any, relative to the use of standard right angle HF coax connectors?  I want to use an old 6 position RatPak switchbox I have (SO-239 connectors), but the depth of the unit for the Carlon wx box I want to mount it in would require a pretty severe bend in the cables coming up from the bottom. So, I thought of the right angle connectors. I was unable to find any negative issues with my cursory look around the resources I have or a quick look on the internet. Has probably come up as a topic someplace. Thoughts?
