[Yaesu] FT-1000D Intermod

[Robert Wanderer]

GOOD LUCK! HE'S NEVER RETURNED ANY OF MY MANY TO HIM!
(Can't buy Icom they don't repair properly the first three times; Can't buy
Ten-Tec, they don't have all the features I like although their recivers are the
best; Can't buy Kenwood cuz they're selling at truck stops :-) ; Can't buy
JRC cuz no contest programs support their radios; and Can't buy Yaesu
because Chip doesn't return calls....)

That's possible, but I'm not sure it explains how the strength of the
spur varies linearly with the input signal strength.  Perhaps the
AGC maintains a constant signal level at the stage generating the spur,
but I'd have to think about it.  I still think the most likely cause is
some leakage of an oscillator harmonic into a mixer somewhere.

Still waiting for K7JA to return my call.
