That sounds good.............the service manual I have is for the R8E, so
they may have installed an attenuator on that model. I will give Drake a
call this morning.

I may be picking up one of these things tomorrow. Looking at the input
bandpass filter schematic, I notice a T type of attenuator that consists
of two 270 ohm series resistors, with a 330 ohm shunt resistor on the MW
filter section.
Am I dreaming, or did Drake really dumb down the design with a full time
attenuator on the MW band? If this is the case, it looks like I have yet
another project.

I don't see that attenuator on the MW (0.5-1.5-Mhz) bandpass filter for
the R8'B'. The MW bandpass circuit on the 'B' looks like all the other
bands but with different component values of course.
