But this is not a 17.7db attenuator in the front end. The signal will have
been amplified by the time it gets to this point. So the noise will be
attenuated as well as the signal. Perhaps it won't be as sensitive, but the
loss won't be as much as 17dB. I find it hard to accept your implication
that Elecraft designed an IF output that is effectively useless.
