No, I'm talking about a K3, which is what I measured. The two Yaesu rigs
I've measured, both run only on 120/240VAC, and their IMD and occupied
spectrum do NOT decrease with power level.
You are clearly on a mission to shift the ham world to high voltage PAs.
But a significant part of the ham world wants a radio that runs on
11-14VDC, making it much more versatile for portable and mobile
operation, carry-on in luggage for a DX trip, and easy to run from a
simple solar power system.
