Denny,
After reading of few of these comments about the attenuator, I tried using it
in the recent ARRL CW & SSB DX contests. Was really surprised how much good
it did, especially on 80/160, but like others, I would love to have the
option of -10 or -20. Thanks to Bill and others for the tip! Ashamed to say
I had never tried it--instead used reduced rf gain.
Your comments about the narrow filters was also interesting. I agree that
the use of a stacked .5 (nar) and the .25 would be too much for any run
station. I find the .5 nar and 1.8 the best combination for running and
still keep the RIT on and ready. 73 John K0IJL
