That¡¯s why I build the digital attenuator board to use with the PAs¡? Use the full range of the A/D then¡ and attenuate the power where it should be attenuated.

It will take some calculating to discover the optimum amplitudes out of the Audio Hat. Voice peaks need to be accounted for.? So you can't drive too hard or the peaks will get clipped. The T41 power control is done by varying the I and Q amplitudes.? So that is another consideration. If you want power varied from 1 watt to 20 watts that soaks up a lot of the DAC range. And then you have to add the voice peak problem on top of that.
