= Group order for Stepped Attenuator kits =

=== Introduction ===
The attenuator itself costs over $90 without resistors in single unit quantities (seen it going for $120+ in europe), and if we get enough interest, a kit could be put together for under $90 including resistors.

Please add your name at the bottom of the list.

I will post more details later, once I receive my unit from Elma that I ordered.

Note: This isn't just for the gainclone, as I will probably price the resistors and switches seperately, allowing you to buy a bare switch and put any value resistive ladder on it. There are several websites out there that allow you to calculate your resistive ladders.
