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

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

likely to occur when the transceiver is operated at reduced power.
Namely to drive a power amplifier.
