Re: I originally asked: good source & non-expensive url for Attenuators
Thanks for the response Miro. I came across Don Jackson's article after I posted my remarks. A similar well thought out design for a high power rf sampler can be found in the May 2011 issue of QST on

Re: Firmware Update
I had the same problem.

Re: I originally asked: good source & non-expensive url for Attenuators
My opinion is that it depends on what you are measuring ?I am not sure of the linearity of the antenna when spanning a hundred MHz. A direct tap frequency response can be measured with a VNA to

Hi Dennis!
inductive coupler still requires dummy load, and if you have one, then your resistive attenuator does not need "large power absorbing resistors".
