Introduction 

 
Congratulations on selecting the LDG RCA-14. The RCA-14 is a “breakout box” for the 
accessory jacks on popular transceiver, allowing easy access to the functions present on the jack. 
It provides access via standard RCA connectors, cables for which are common and cheap. This 
replaces the expensive and hard-to-find DIN type connectors found on many transceivers. This 
setup allows you to easily make multiple accessory connections, and to change the connections 
quickly and easily. 
 
LDG pioneered the automatic, wide-range switched-L tuner in 1995. From its laboratories near 
the Nation's Capitol, LDG continues to define the state of the art in this field with innovative 
automatic tuners and related products for every amateur need.
