I should be noted that the 3IMD for the amp is -35dB below the
single tone power, which would place it -41dB below PEP which
I think is how ARRL specifies everything in test reports. This is
pretty good. Unfortunately, the higher order products don't seem
to fall of as quickly as one might want them to.
