Neat story, Bob - Reminds me of PM (Percussive Modulation) - I've not 
tried that but I do apply Percussive Repair methods at times!  About 
that same timeframe, my old Model 80 was put to a similar task.  A buddy 
of mine just went nuts when people kerchunked his repeater, so when  I 
wanted to annoy him I'd just dial the attenuator up to the point where 
it would tickle the squelch, and mother nature would take care of the rest.

Here's what the 82 looks like:

I love my synthesized stuff, but there's something to be said for analog 
attenuators.   All I know is it came from Collins Radio surplus so it's 
got to be good ;-)
