[Elecraft] K3 Transmit IMD (Mic adj for alc)

[wrmoore]

In light of the Sherwood presentation referenced in the thread about K3
audio, I haven't seen much comment on the spectrum analyzer plot of the K3
transmit IMD.  Is this still an artifact of the (now fixed) firmware error
mentioned by Eric earlier in this thread?

Or is this a currently existing situation with the K3?  I'm so from an
expert on these things that I hesitate to even ask, but it sounds like
Sherwood is saying the K3 is a "bad neighbor" in transmit IMD, and it looks
like it from the plots he provides.

K3 on order :-)
