Question SB303

[Dan Pividal N4VET]

I also have an SB303 and since we are on the subject I have a question.
My SB303 has the RF ATTEN and not a noise blanker on the front panel.
However, my RF ATTEN never seemed to work right to me.
I get full audio on an S9 signal and if I turn the knob only about 1/4 inch
my audio drops to nothing.
Is this pot working the way it is meant to?
I would think it should be a gradual drop through the range of the knob.
I will be going back into this radio soon and would like to know if I need to
fix this.
If your SB303's work the same I wont waste my time in trying to put a meter
to the pot.
And yes, the SB303 is very prone front end overload. Anything over S9 seems
to do it. It helps if you switch to fast AGC so that the first letter of a
word does not spike.
Waiting to hear from you guys,
Dan N4VET
