    I'm not in front of SSDR right now but I didn't think that re-scaled the Power output control just set an upper limit....

    Thanks Dwayne.  Yes, that is the design I was considering. :-)  I currently have an external 10dB attenuator that I was thinking of using if needed.  Cheers.

    Nice ;) Did you poke around inside your amp to validate if there was the possibility of inserting a pad in the internal transmit path?

    Power control scaling is not a feature of SmartSDR.
