[SADXA] K5P operations

But they wouldn't get another 3 dB. Remember this is a multi-transmitter 
environment and the SPE could only deliver reasonable IMD at 1 KW PEP.  And 
they're cheating even at this, IMHO. The way manufactures cheat (Elecraft does 
it too) is to measure IMD products with respect to PEP instead of one tone of 
the two, like any military or commercial product manufacturer would do.

I know you've already seen the critique of SPE's test method. Elecraft's was a 
little better; they at least used two separate transmitters for the two tones 
instead of one.  Surprisingly, however, one of them was a Yaesu.  Go figure.
