[Elecraft] K3 SSB transmit IMD

[Darwin, Keith]

I got a different read.

- ARRL measured -23 dB on the QRP rig.

- ARRL checked the K3/100 (which they have) at the QRP level and got -27
dB.

- ARRL called Elecraft.  They talked.

- ARRL published the value from the K3/100 number.

- ARRL reported that Elecraft suggested those worried about the IMD
performance on 17m could QRP to 8 watts.

I didn't see anything in there where either the ARRL or Elecraft
admitted that there is any problem; only some confusion and disparity on
the measurements.

I'm a little unsure about what the ARRL is saying in their evaluation of
the K3's transmit IMD. Here's what I THINK they are saying:
