Barry,
now I have only one-tone generator XG1 with S3 and S9 level.
But in my first message you can to see TWO-TONE in-band IMD
results for ic7800, ic756pro2, Flex-5k and K3 for S9 and S9+50 levels.
For all these Radios was used same measure-method on one table.
And of course AF-out for all it was from PHONES-out on FP.
s9+50 AGC-Fast PRE-On http://forum.cqham.ru/download.php?id=32004
s9 AGC-Fast PRE-On http://forum.cqham.ru/download.php?id=32004
These results from Alex UR0ID. The FireBox sound-card are no been
overloaded.
But hope I get two-tone generator from Alex, and also check my K3 for
two-tone IMD.
