Current information on the N9SFX attentuators below-

They are REALLY solid, since the case is machined out of a solid block
of aluminium.

    Howdy,
    You can send cash, check, or money order. I'm good in QRZ. The ARRL
    tested the design and found it worked well up to 450 mHz. The only
    machining consists of drilling some holes in the .020 inch thick brass
    stock provided with the kit for grounding the resistors.

    There are two kits available. One is a 6 switch unit for foxhunting
    and goes 0 to 95 dB in 5 dB steps. It is $45. The other is a 10 switch
    unit that goes 0 to 111.5 dB in half dB steps and can be used for most
    all low power attenuation needs. It goes for $59 and the prices
    include your call stamped on the unit, enclosure, switches, resistors,
    wire, engraving, instructions, cover plate, screws, BNC connectors
    installed, and shipping.

    You can take a look at the units in the May 1998 QST or the Dec. 1998
    QST.
