Default Does Max mean max signal or max attenuation?

I have a Radio Shack signal Attenuator with F connections on each side.

It also says Min and Max and different ends of its rotation.

Does Max mean max signal or max attenuation?

Testing doesn't seem to show this, because the tv signal will disappear
when the signal is too weak, but also when it is too strong.


With one end open measure the DC resistance of the other end. Once at max
and once at min. Report the values here.


good idea. especally since the vote was 2 to 1 so far.

It will take a while to get back to you all.

Thanks everyone.
