[Elecraft] K3 Harmonic Distortion

[n4lq]

Jim
None of those things helps. I can reduce my LINE OUT gain to 1 and still see 
the 3rd harmonic easily on the waterfall. I've had many rigs and this is the 
first to do this.
There was a thread about this not long ago. Do a nabble search on "ghost". 
There is also some distortion in the speaker output but I'm told that this 
is a separate amplifier.
