I'm feeding audio from my IC-746 (non-Pro) to the PC from the ACC-1 jack so I can have constant audio level. I feed audio from the external speaker jack to an external speaker (novel concept!). The problem I'm encountering is that I share the shack with the XYL, who is only a few feet from me in the evening. No matter how low I turn the audio down on the rig, the sound from the speaker is just a bit too loud. This 746 has a very sensitive AF gain control, so that the audio is either off or too loud.
Is there a way I could put a rheostat or potentiometer in the audio line from the external speaker jack that would let me have more control over the audio from the speaker? And if so, what value should I look for to give a broad range of control so I can go from very soft to normal? Thanks in advance! Dave KB3MOW
