[1000mp] FT-1000MP back ground hiss. CW Cap Mod--LONG!

Snide remarks about "jabbering" aside, it does not surprise me some 
people do not observe the intermod increase. It takes two or more 
strong signals to produce IM products, and many operators probably 
would not recognize it as a receiver problem and might dismiss it as 
a transmitter problem or even think the IM was a "good signal" that 
was supposed to be there!

It is not desired-signal distortion, it is intermod that creates 
phantom signals that really are not there. There is a huge 
difference, and you probably are not looking for the actual problem.

It is not desired signal distortion, it is IM3 intermod.73, Tom W8JI
