I am not fmiliar with this particular model, but if it does not have a switched
lowpass filter (in other words, if it doesn't have a bandswitch) then it is
certainly generating harmonics to a degree far beyond what the FCC permits. It
can't legally be sold for amateur purposes. If you operate on a frequency whose
harmonics fall outside of the ham bands, you could be cited and fined by the
FCC. Does it have a bandswitch?
