Once the remote tuner is installed, you'll want to cut the antenna feed wire to
the minimum length required to go between the red binding post on the tuner
and the vertical antenna feedpoint connection which will also allow tilting
without straining the wire. Strip approximately 3/4" of insulation from the bare
end of the antenna feedline wire. The stripped end is attached to the MFJ tuner
using the red binding post as shown in Figure 13. The ring terminal end
connects to your vertical antenna feedpoint connection as shown in Figure 14.
