[R-390] R-390 RF Gain Control

[David Wise]

I seem to recall that a fixed resistor from linear wiper to one end can approximate a log taper, probably well enough for this application.

To the creative among us,

Some clever person among us likely can design a replacement circuit to function well as the hard to find reverse log taper original gain pots.

Maybe a pot with the right resistance curve but lower dissipation rating combined with a FET or opto-isolator.
