[Elecraft] Which Amp ?

[Igor Sokolov]

Joe,

I do not know where the info about SPE being dirty comes from. If it is 
that bad, then why FCC had approved it?

If it is that bad, how do I manage  to use it with two radio on the same 
band and spacing of 3-5 kHz using two antennas separated 200 meters?

Last year we had 2 combo of K3 and SPE 1.3 running in Field day contest. 
Both amps where fed from the same generator and we could easily run SSB 
and CW on the same band when antennas were separated less then 200 
meters. May be other amps are even cleaner but what SPE does is more 
then enough to me.

After all, IMD of 1.3K-FA measured by ARRL (Third-order intermodulation 
distortion (IMD): 3rd/5th/7th/9th (14 MHz, 1300 W PEP):    
–31/–39/–57/–55 dB.)  is quite on par with IMD of K3 itself (Third-order 
intermodulation distortion (IMD) 3rd/5th/7th/9th order (worst case 
band):    HF, –29/–43/–46/–51 dB PEP; ) and pretty close to KPA 500 
(Third order intermodulation distortion (IMD): 3rd/5th/7th/9th: 
34/53/46/54 dB below    PEP (14 MHz, 500 W PEP output).
