Apologies for the preceding empty.
Before you tear the rig apart, have you confirmed that the complainer was
far enough away to rule out receiver front end overload?

Subject: [Amps] Alpha 76 160 meter 2nd harmonic

I was surprised to receive e-mail that the 2nd harmonic of my 1866.5 signal
was QRMing a QSO on 3733. I know that 160 meters was added to the Alpha 76
as an afterthought when the FCC raised the 160 meter power limit just before
the Alpha 76 was released. As a result of that design decision, the loading
control works "backwards" on 160. While the schematic shows a Pi-L on 160,
that is clearly not reality. Anyone care to venture what the real-life
equivalent circuit is on 160 ?
73,
