Is it any less efficient for RF to use a right-angle adapter with a straight BNC on the end of an RG-400 cable, as opposed to right-angle connector crimped to the cable?  An adapter plus straight connector is about half the cost of a right-angle crimp connector.

Short answer: it's less efficient.


Less Short answer: You'll never be able to tell the difference without
multi-kilobuck test gear.

I know what I'd do.

Either technique is fine. In fact, I published
the po' boy's rt-angle bnc cable male ploy
here a few years ago:

but then I found an economical source for
one piece right angle connectors:

Hmm...does trying to transmit 20 or 30 miles count as test gear?  I think I have the multi-kilobuck part covered Wink  Seriously, if it doesn't make any noticeable difference for voice quality in and out, I know what to do too.

Thanks!
