The Expert 1.3k is sold with the 15 db restriction. But anybody can do a low
power mod and it is legal.

ARLL Review (July 16) shows IMD at 1.3 KW level:
      3rd/5th/7th/9th (14 MHz, 1300 W PEP): –31/–39/–57/–55 dB.

Seems not to be worse than Acom 1500.

The IMD as measured are misleading. Take FT1000 or FT5000. Measured IMD in
class A perhaps -50db but real one with processing due to aggressive ALC of
perhaps -25 db.

Good feature of the expert is automatic 110/220V supply. If 220V is
unavailable or sags, switch to lower power. 

Ignacy, NO9E
