[Elecraft] K3 SSB transmit IMD

[K4IA at aol.com]

If I set my CMP to 0, it sounds like it is  turned all the way up.  If I set 
the CMP to 1, it calms down and works as I  would expect.  In other words, I 
don't see a way to turn the CMP  off.

Am I missing  something?

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!
