[Elecraft] K3 Transmit IMD

[Wes Stewart]

Well, I've seeming stirred up a hornets' nest, or as
we have in Southern Arizona, an Africanized ("killer")
honeybees' nest.

I do stand corrected about a response from Elecraft
regarding this subject that I failed to see.

Furthermore, it was not my intent to necessarily
single out Elecraft regarding this issue, but
considering its fine, and well deserved, reputation
for quality products, I expected better, and I'm sure
that better will be (or is being) delivered.

The essence of what I was trying, apparently
unsuccessfully, to get across is that *all* aspects of
transceiver design are important, and the focus I've
seen while lurking in this forum for a year is on
receiver performance.  Witness the endless discussions
like, "Should I get the 5-pole or the 8-pole filter?"
and so forth.

That is certainly admirable, and I've done my share of
receiver designing and building in the last 50 years,
but no amount of bullet-proofing the receiver will
clean up your neighbor's transmitter. 

And the focus of receiver performance has only
resulted from consumer demand.  We should be demanding
better transmitter performance too. That's all I was
getting at.

Respectfully, 

Wes  N7WS
