I have found the attenuator that everyone is talking about, but am unsure how to properly bypass/remove it. I have searched for the mod at all of the popular mod sites and have had no luck finding it. If anyone can locate the info please let me know. By the way, I live in a rural area, the closest AM transmitter is a 500 watter 18 miles away. Thanks to all who have responded and 73, Kevin, K9HX
