[Heathkit] FW: Heathkit TUNER Question

[Chuck Penson]

There is some discussion of the in the Heathkit book. When using the 2060 with a random wire or balanced line you *must* have an open output at one of the two coaxial line connectors. Otherwise you will have two antennas connected. This was fixed in the 2060A.
