[Elecraft] KX3 and Juma PA100-D linear

[David Robertson]

Everyone,
On the Juma linear I am using with my KX3 I have received comments from the
e-mail forum about the unpublished 3rd order IMD specifications of the Juma
PA100-D linear amp. Well I did some testing with my limited equipment at my
station and I measured the following:

KX3 running 5 watts out -35db third order IMD

KX3 driving the Juma PA100-D linear with 100 watts out -28db third order
imd.

Because the exciter (KX3) has a very good but not perfect output I would
assume that it would effect the accuracy of the linear's output IMD
measurment. Any comments
