just tried to do also some dynamic range measurements

two HP 8640 Generators (out +20dBm) attenuated to 0dBm into
an 6dB coupler attenuated to -10 dBm into an stepp-attenuator

done on 20meter with 4pole 500Hz filter
IMD with pre  -140 dBm
IMD no pre   -134 dBm

dynamic range  no pre
spacing   IMD-Level   Dynamic
20 kHz      -31 dBm     103 dB
5 kHz       -31 dBm     103 dB
2 kHz       -34 dBm     100 dB
+/- inaccuration

very happy

>DK4YJ with K3 #00067 and G4AON with K3 #00080) are in the same ballpark.
