the ATTN is 10dB. Not sure where the CORs activate however. I do know that I've hit them before though.. :) Not sure if this helps you but I do also know that you can get to +20dBm and as long as you have the extreme signal protection mod done to your radio (or it was built after 9/1/2009)

That's the beauty of buying an Elecraft kit, Ron. You start with the basic KX3 and add options as you feel that they're needed. Try that with the Big Three. A new model is introduced, and suddenly your current transceiver has dropped in resale value. The necessary tools are noted in the Tools
