If you have CMP set to 0, set the external 2-tone oscillator (Elecraft 
2T, of course) to a reasonable output level, and adjust MIC GAIN so you 
get full power but little or no ALC action, the IMD is the same as with 
the internal two tone test oscillator.

Or at least it is so reported today at one of the Elecraft labs!
