INTRODUCTION
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.
Congratulations on selecting the LDG RU-4:1 Unun. Your LDG Unun allows you to connect
longwires and vertical antennas to your LDG tuner. The RU-4:1 provides a 4:1 impedance
transformation, and is especially designed for use with the LDG S9 series of vertical antennas. In
cases where the antenna is already resonant, the RU-4:1 may be the only thing you need to
connect your antenna directly to your transceiver.
