Installation
Overview
The RT-600 tuner is designed for outdoor use; it is weather resistant. However, LDG
recommends using silicone coax sealing tape on the coax connections after
installation to help keep rainwater out of the connections. The RT-600 is designed for
use with coax-fed antennas; an external balun is required to use it with longwires or
antennas fed by ladder line. To avoid damage always turn your radio and amplifier
off before connecting or disconnecting anything.
Basic Installation

RC-600 controller in a convenient position near your amplifier. Connect a 50-ohm
