Raymond,

It will make no difference whether the dot is up or down.
Look at the MAR-1 data sheet (www.minicircuits.com) and you will 
discover that both of the side terminals are ground connections.

The input and output connections are opposite each other with the 01 
(and angled lead) at the input.  As long as the input lead is positioned 
correctly, all other leads will fall into the correct places whether the 
01 is oriented up or down.

73,
