Where can I buy some attenuators to attenuate signals while Dfing?

Any good info or sources of info on the subject?

I'm going to try to do it with a HT and its S-meter.


You can get a "VCR attenuator" at radio shack for $6 or so.
It's not a lab quality device, but it's quite servicable.

One other thing to be aware of, most HTs cases are rather transparent, so
attenuation becomes ineffective pretty quickly, and the directional pattern
dissolves, as your signal level from the antenna approaches what's leaking
through the case and shielding of the HT.
