Maybe...   just make a voltage divider with a couple of resistors.

However, it may not be necessary. Lots of sound cards, including many built in laptop computers, can be configured as a LINE-IN device, OR as a MICrophone device, within the software drivers. Most Creative SB cards work this way - you activate the same input as either a mic or line-in jack in Windows Volume Mixer.

Yours may work this way.   If so, you just set it thus, and hook it up.

If not, then post back and either I or one of the other guys will describe how to make a voltage divider - I build them as part of making electret computer microphones match dynamic mic inputs on transceivers. Easy.

OR... you can buy an attenuator cable. I used to buy them at RadioCrack. Not sure, but I suspect they still sell them.

It appears that there is line audio output available at J8 on the rear
cabinet.  I want to feed audio to my laptop for digital modes, but the
computer does not have a line input, just a mic input.  I believe some
attenuation might be necessary.  Any recommendations for values to use
in such a pad?
Thanks.
