If the amp does not have a filter, you can be sure it has no bias and
probably is not correctly impedance matched. A filter would make it a CW amp
(but add clicks if it was non-linear) or an FM amp, but not a linear amp.

How would you correct that Steve since the IM would tear other users of the
band up?

Seems to me people often think a filter will cure splatter
