[Elecraft] IMD of MOSFETs vs. bipolar

[Andy Durbin]

"The result is that it's very difficult to cause overdrive and splatter with a K4, even if you try to do it intentionally."

Same is true for the much older Kenwood TS-590S.  I have tried several times to produce dirty signals to illustrate digital modes presentations.  I have never been able to do so and had to use examples of other transmitted signals I had stored in my "rogues gallery".

One of the worst digital mode signals I ever saw came from an Elecraft K3.  It was fixed quickly after I sent a screen shot.
