[Amps] Measuring IMD in a home workshop

[Jim]

Wasn't I just saying something about this?
That is was junk?

*Problem Equipment*
• K2—Phase Noise
– No cure – don't run high power
• FT1000MP—Klix –
–Well known mods can fix
• Icoms—leading edge spike
– Bucket Technique



************************• Alpha 77-EBS, Ameritron AL-series**
**                          EBS option**
**                           – Fix or disable*



Thanks
