The title says it all -- Rick asked for it, and I did it this morning, changing the frequency axis to log and moving labels around. I also added data for the new IC7100, a do everything cheapie with a remote head, just reviewed in July QST.

For the Field Day problem, look at the data around 200-300 kHz -- that's what we run into when we run CW and SSB on the same band. There's 15 dB difference between the IC7100 and the IC7600/TS590, and the K3 is another 17 dB better than the best of those!

And, as I noted in an earlier post, this is only one part of the problem -- there's also IMD on both TX and RX, clicks, audio distortion, and RX phase noise. This stuff CANNOT be filtered -- it's all "in band."

Now I'm going to tackle the key click data.

73, Jim K9YC
