[Elecraft] IMD and supply voltage

[Bill Frantz]

It looks like there might be a business opportunity for an 
external 100W amp which has very low distortion. Via auxbus it 
could be slaved to a K3, K3S, or a KX3. How does the KXPA100 
stack up?


Re: Overdriving speech processors

K1N team member Glenn Johnson, W0GJ, said, “It seems like 
everyone tries to turn up their microphone gain and speech 
processors to overdrive and it creates splatter and makes it 
almost impossible and if we could somehow magically eliminate 
all speech processors, we could probably double or triple our 
rate."[1] He also said that European stations were worse 
offenders than US stations.
