Hold on here a second..
If you didn't pick 6 and 8 Mhz then your whole argument falls apart.
What does a mixer have to do with the generation of harmonics related to
non linear amps of a single signal?
Givin a pure single signal , an amplifier will not gerenate a sub harmonic
as all linear perturbations are of higher frequency content.
His statement is correct but in this case , the amplifier may be acting as
a mixer with two signals present at the input that the operator has not
identified as yet.
That , I believe , is quite a different situation than the generation of
"sub harmonics".
