"...one would be better advised to build an attenuator into the amplifier..."
I did consider incorporating the attenuator inside the ALS-600 (not an issue on 6-meters as the ALS-600 is 160-10 meters only). But there is surprisingly little room inside the amp for the attenuator where it is needed. Not impossible to do, but not that easy to implement. And I decided that a 2dB degradation of MDS wasn't a big deal for me.
