Enjoyed the long discussion on this topic.
Unfortunately, one of the most popular rigs is the
IC-706 series. Use of xmit BP filters is a must on these things
if running multi, as in Field Day or contesting. (Doubt real contesters
would use this radio)
Doing the PTT test on these (without talking) really messes up the spectrum

The only good news is, I don't think they are as dirty now as they were in
the late 80s and early 90s.
The cheap rigs back then were really terrible. Now they are just bad. (hi)
