[Elecraft] KX3 Amp

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

Hello Igor,

If you want to measure (with useful accuracy) the level of the IMD products 
generated by your KX3 and HLA 300 Plus, all that you would need in addition 
to your TS590 is a Two Tone (AF) Generator, an AF Spectrum Analyser and your 
computer.  If you Google Tcube you will find a program called Tcube, which 
can be downloaded at no cost.  This program will provide you with a Two Tone 
Generator and an AF Spectrum Analyzer.  The frequency range covered by the 
generators and the Spectrum Analyser is 0 to 10 kHz.  I have found this 
program to be useful when running 3 or 4 tone tests, two of the tones from a 
"hardware" generator.

73,

Geoff
