As to the attenuator, a 6 dB attenuator rated at 100 watts is no big
deal.  The challenge is to switch the attenuator in and out between TX
and RX modes.

A better solution for all is to use a transceiver which DOES NOT have
the problem.  As Jim, K9YC indicated, many do and require either
operating system/firmware changes or in some cases, hardware changes.  
I'm with him on this.

I can attest to the fact, my K3S, my Tentec Omni VII and Tentec Eagle DO
NOT have the overshoot issue.  The issue can be resolved.

ICOM, Kenwood, Yaesu.........are you listening?

Bob, K4TAX

*** So I guess the obvious fix is to operate the exciter at full power
and
insert an attenuator in line. It would be serious piece of equipment
though.
