As to the attenuator, a 6 dB attenuator rated at 100 watts is no big
deal. The challenge is to switch the attenuator in and out between TX
and RX modes.
A better solution for all is to use a transceiver which DOES NOT have
the problem. As Jim, K9YC indicated, many do and require either
operating system/firmware changes or in some cases, hardware changes.
I'm with him on this.
I can attest to the fact, my K3S, my Tentec Omni VII and Tentec Eagle DO
NOT have the overshoot issue. The issue can be resolved.
ICOM, Kenwood, 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.
