[Elecraft] One point eight dee bee

[Al Lorona]

I forgot to say one thing. I'll try to say it quickly.

This might help those of us that are still skeptical about hearing a 1.8 dB change.

Forget about the cost of doing this for the moment; I'm only talking about the effort right now.

If you knew for a fact that you had a 1.8 dB loss somewhere in your shack that could be reduced to 0 dB just by replacing or changing something, would you do it? Or would you say, "Naw, they can't hear 1.8 dB anyway, so I won't bother. I'll just leave the loss in the system."

If you answered the latter, then I have a followup question: If you knew for a fact that you had two separate and unrelated things, each of which had a 1.8 dB loss, would you leave them as is, or replace them?
