[Elecraft] Headphone Output - SSB Mode - Single Tone

[Jack Smith]

At the request of Paul, M1PAF, I've measured the harmonic distortion 
seen at the headphone output in a K3 operating with with 2.7 KHz 
bandwidth USB mode with a single tone at 500 Hz offset. This allows up 
to the fifth harmonic to be within the DSP passband.

The details are at

Audio level is set for a comfortable listening level with a Heil Pro 
Set, corresponding to about 30 mV RMS.

The short story is 2nd harmonic is at least 80 dB down and the 3rd 
harmonic is 76 dB down. Fourth and fifth harmonics are in the noise and 
not visible. An artifact at 3.9 KHz is also visible, although quite far 
down compared with the desired signal.
