ATT-2 is switched in @ 20 meters and up. ATT-1 is hard wired in all the time.
Don't
forget to count that one also. Your figures were very interesting, Vic. Did you
log the
collector current also? I will do your test here with mine and see what I get.
My output
on 12 meters is better than 20, 17, 15 , or 10 meters. I am going to duplicate
the filter
in the ARRL Handbook to see if I can move the 10 meter cut-off freq a bit closer
to
30 mhz. Thanks for the dope on the ATT-2 filter. I had no idea what its value
was.
I have no idea what the value of ATT-1 is either, nor its wattage rating.
Perhaps RadioDan
can enlighten us.
