Also, amazing how the original 1000MP is much better than
the newer MK V or Field models.

         I agree with both comments Larry.  Regarding the MP vs
Mark V vs Field, one inconsistency is that the original MP was
tested by a different person than KC1SX.  However that does
not explain the differences between the Mark V and Field.
Another issue could simply be production variations due to
this being a sample of one for each product.  However the
-9 dB variation in IMD between successive models looks like
a more significant difference than can could explained by
statistical variation.
