I was so surprised Lyle that I have just downloaded the manual to see for myself :-) Sure enough, no transverter port! It does have the usual linear amp switching though including ALC input (remote connector pin 6). I personally find this a more elegant solution than the attenuator as well as being much easier to implement. If the ALC voltage is tied to the transverter on/off switching, then it should automatically reduce the power only when needed. Not totally foolproof, but should work.
