Thanks for the response Keith. I'm not sure I understand.
I'm at work so I don't have the Arrow 440-3 antenna to look at to be sure, but ... My recollection is that the BNC connector on the Arrow is pointed straight back and in line with the antenna elements (in a (say) horizontal plane.) The SMA to BNC adapter is in a straight line, and the TeleDongle connector sticks straight out from the side (when looking at the TeleDongle so that it looks like a square) If there was room (Say if I removed the rearward element.) then the antenna BNC connector to BNC to SMA adapter, to the TeleDongle would form a rigid unit pointing straight back. The only way I can understand what you describe is if you can rotate the Arrow BNC connector so that It doesn't point straight back towards the rearward element. I don't remember being able to do that. (My recollection is that that bit of the antenna is pretty solid.)
