Not really, 6 dB of attenuation rated at 100 watts. The challenge is
switching it out on receive.

heat the linear

But the real challenge is to buy a transceiver that doesn't overshoot
at reduced power. Neither my K3S, my Tentec Eagle, nor my Omni VII
have the issue. Other companies have or need to update their
operating system such that reduced power does not overshoot.
Kenwood, ICOM, and Yaesu.......are you listening?

Based on personal experience and observations with another ham radio
brand and company, it is most often the case that power overshoot is
likely to occur when the transceiver is operated at reduced power.
Namely to drive a power amplifier.

insert an attenuator in line. It would be serious piece of equipment
though.
