[Amps] IMD test question

[Gudguyham at aol.com]

Way back when I was a rock bound novice I would know when certain others  
had come on the air.  I could hear their key clicks throughout the 80m  
novice band.  Everybody knew when I was on the air too because I was using  a 
modified ARC-5 with the external crystal controlled oscillator.  The  
oscillator could be heard in between me keying up the final.  My oscillator  would be 
an S7 and my keyed signal S9.  I was a dead give away.

Usually the lemmings  tell you you are full of it, because he "sounds fine 
to me here."

When  I was working on my FT1000MP with the key clicks  I asked several 
guys  on
the air if they coould hear my clicks.  No one had a clue, that  they 
needed to tune up 
and down the band to listen for the clicks.  I  venture to guess that not 
one ham in 100 
understands this simple concept  (readers of this reflector excepted, of 
course).
It can be very  frustrating.
