It sounds like an atennuator <sp?> performs similar to
DSP, except not on quite the sophisticated digital
level.
My No-Code Tech mentality leads me to think that
atennuator is related to the antenna "itself"...would
it be better to think of it as being more related to
the receiver, instead???
Or am I way off base now...
I have an ARRL Handbook (1995 edition) around here
somewhere...it was given to me by Chuck/KA9VPE (sk)
before I was licensed...maybe I should hunt the book
down and see if I can find something in there on the
subject. I really don't want to clog the list and get
complaints like the one from our British (Old
Fart...Hi-hi!) friend.
Thanks again,
John / K6ZZZ

can attenate most of
this stuff out and just leave the station you are
talking to in there.
20 over S-9 signals may look good, but if there is
almost that much QRM/N
along with that signal, then it doesn't sound all
that good to the ear.
Anything that you don't want to hear or need to hear
is just noise.
