Is there a list of your results online somewhere?
Sherwood has a list of receivers. It would be nice for
there to be an online list of transmitter specs as well.
Any chance you tested the Icom IC-7200?
Have you tested any of the old mobile tube rigs, e.g. Morrow,
Gonset, Pierson?
It just so happens that at 1345 UTC this Saturday, I'm giving a
presentation at the RSGB National Convention entitled 'Spreading the
Sewage' - we didn't think that 'Spreading the S**t' was quite
appropriate! I need to make sure that I have at least 2 if not 3
pints of beer available for refreshment during the 45 minutes -
although the other year, someone wrote to the RSGB General Manager
afterwards to complain about me drinking beer during the presentation
and livening it up with a dirty joke!
I have analysed the QST reviews of 123 transmitter/transceivers since
1973 for this, and the frightening thing is the way that while tube
rigs in general had negligible 7th, 9th, 11th order IMDs, the solid
state rigs do - and then some. Both the FTDX5000 and the FT1000D
running in Class A are good.........but, I gather get hot.
As they say in Yorkshire "Tha don't get owt fer nowt".
The results make me glad I still run a tube PA transceiver!
