I see very few if any signals on the band that exceed -28 to -30 dB IMD on 
the receive end.  If you get a signal report that your IMD is -15 to -20 dB 
then one should consider that there is a problem with the configuration and 
or transmitter.

We are speaking of typical of PSK-31 IMD levels being -25 dB down from 30 
watts, not 100 watts.

73
