[Elecraft] Ten Tec never sounded so good!

Hi Geoff

Lets hope the regulators do act. As you say anyone who needs convincing just needs to tune the 40 meter band. Now that we have SDR receivers the mess is plain  as daylight.

Most of the objections to out of band emissions assume that these regulations are very onerous, they are not. The IMD requirements are modest, all that it required is proper attention be payed to TX design details. I am hopeful that the regulators will bite the bullet and act soon.
