Mike:
In other words, does the attenuated patch cord have a volume control in the
middle?
Or, am I not understanding the concept correctly?

Tom,
I remember those speakers. They are wonderful, and are indeed quite
loud.
The easiest thing to do would be to insert some attenuation into the
line between the rig and the speaker.
It sounds like no more than 6 or maybe 8 db would do it.
I'm not sure how much attenuation is in those attenuated patch cords
we used to buy when a portable cassette machine did not contain a line
level input, but try one of those if you can find one.
Radio Shack still sold them 3 or 4 years ago.

Hi, folks.
Last week-end, at a swap in Southwest Lower Michigan, I was lucky
enough to
pick up a Motorola amplified speaker. It was one of those nice
speakers
with a metal case, and the grill work on the back. The item cost me a
grand
total of $5. All I had to do was replace the wiring for the power and
phono
connections, and I was good to go.
The speaker is incredible, and goes a long way in terms of giving me
clear
audio, even under marginal conditions.
But, I have run into an interesting dilemma.
In working with my TS480, here at the home shack, I have had to adjust
the
volume output levels for the VGS1 announcement, the beep tone, and the
CW
sidetone down to the lowest possible level. This is ok for the VGS1
announcement, and the beep tone, but the CW sidetone, even at level 1,
is a
little too loud for comfort.
Does anyone know of a way that I can "fine tune" this adjustment
further, to
get the CW sidetone volume down at least a little bit more?
This is the only disadvantage I have found when using this terrific
amplified speaker.
