I think I posted this already, but I can't find it, so I apologize if this is a dupe. Can anyone tell me why the BlueSMiRF has 90-degree headers? Is it meant to stand up perpendicular from the PCB (for improved reception)? If I replace these with straight headers, so the blueSMiRF "lies down" on my PCB, will that affect reception?
