Although the U-bolt is electroplated to resist corrosion, you may wish to apply a thin
layer of grease to the threads to help prevent rust and aid in later removal. If you wish
to use a larger U-bolt (to bolt the tuner to a larger mast, or other support), refer to the
RT-600 mounting bracket dimensions below for sizing.
Tips for Outdoor Installation
The RT-600 is weather resistant and suitable for permanent outdoor installation, but it
may leak if immersed. The RT-600 should be mounted on a mast with the mounting
bracket facing upward, and the SO-239 jacks facing down; do not simply lay it on the
ground, as a puddle could form around it. If necessary, install a short ground mast
near your antenna to mount the RT-600.
