Re: attenuation

2003-03-24 by ps_minor

thanks kevin,  sorry, i thought joe was talking about the 136 (see : below), not 
the 176.  seemed plausible since the 136 is also an amplifier..but also thought 
it to be odd for it to have such a different capability from it's orig purpose.  
anyway, so that's why i couldn't find it.
i don't own a 176 but i'm going to give it another look right now..
cheers,
-psm
