Introduction 

 
Congratulations on selecting the LDG DTS-6 desktop coaxial switch. The DTS-6 is a 
breakthrough product, electronically switching your rig between six antennas, and automatically 
grounding all inputs when your rig is off. The DTS-6 can be mounted on your operating desk, or 
operated remotely using the LDG DTS-6R Remote Control. 
 
LDG pioneered the automatic, wide-range switched-L tuner in 1995. From its laboratories in St. 
Leonard, Maryland LDG continues to define the state of the art in this field with innovative 
automatic tuners and related products for every amateur need.
