Thank you Gary,
I don't want to waste space so I'll not quote you entire missive.
So, it would be a good idea to buy a 100M 30dB attenuator and plan on adding some much smaller attenuators on the end with each having 50 ohm inputs and 50 ohm outputs at a more reasonable wattage. ?As long as the input/output are 50ohm, I can chain as many as I want. ?Were the signal were too small, reduce the chain appropriately? ?i.e. ?Start out with a long chain and reduce until the signal is large enough to give full screen height to the largest signal. ?I can worry about insertion losses after I have an idea as to how much attenuation I need?
Thank you very much both Erik and Gary, ? ? ? ? ? larry
