QRP


 

Hello fellow F-857 enthusiast!

I have a quick question....right.? ?Is it possible to reduce the power to less than 5 the current minimum???

I would like to be able to start with a meager 1 Watt in all bands HF, if possible.? ?My amp does not like to start with 5 as it produces over 800W....yeah!

Just thinking out loud ..but I suppose you could put an RF attenuator in line between the radio and antenna (??)

...but it would need to be switchable because you don't want to attenuate the receive side.
