AN IMPORTANT WORD ABOUT POWER LEVELS
The RT-100 is rated at 125 watts maximum power input
at most
. Many ham transmitters and
transceivers, and virtually all amplifiers, are capable of transmitting well over 125 watts. Power
levels that significantly exceed specifications will definitely damage or destroy your RT-100. If
your tuner fails during overload, it could also damage your transmitter or transceiver. Be sure to
observe the specified power limitations.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
Never install antennas or transmission lines over or near power lines. You can be
seriously injured or killed if any part of the antenna, support or transmission line touches
a power line. Always follow this antenna safety rule: the distance to the nearest power
line should be at least twice the length of the longest antenna, transmission line or
support dimension.
