Considering the geometry of the hollow-cone model of radio pulsar emission in detail, one is led to the conclusion that several well-known observed effects may be explained quite easily purely on geometrical terms. It is shown that a steepening of the spectrum (cut-off) may be expected for certain geometrical situations as well as variations in component spectra, e.g. steeper spectra for the central component. These effects appear in addition to the already existing physical variations with frequency.
