[MRCA] Coax assembly Identification

['MICHAEL ST ANGELO']

Ken,

My right angle connector are square. The coax is SAXTON  M17/28-RG058 MIL-C-17.

The only issue I've had with the connectors is one occasion the teflon insert came out of the body when removed from a especially tight female connector. I just popped it back in.
