[aprssig] Announcing: New Products from RPC Electronics (Dayton Debuts)

[Brian B. Riley]

Actually, I think you are better off going with just  the right  
angle. There's no trade-off in using the right angle connector on the  
D700, and of course there's a big plus in using it on the D7. Whereas  
the straight connector is OK on the D700 and a mess on the D7.
