Is this about 3rd order inband IMD? The subject was widely discussed some time ago. Just try to search the archaive.

No comments, no ideas.... After some tests I have concluded that the spurs are 3rd order intermodulation products. They only occur in DATA or CW. ¿Can anyone please, try to reproduce those products in your K3/P3 or K3/computer combination?. "DATA A" mode: Cristal filter= 2.7KHz, SHIFT=1.5 KHz, WIDTH= 2.7 kHz Tune some steady carrier in shortwave. Tune the signal to place a beautiful 1000 Hz on the waterfall Tune your signal generator 10 Hz more than the broadcast carrier frequency to get an audio signal 10 Hz over the 1000 Hz signal. Adjust generator strenght to be similar to the broadcast carrier. You will see strong beautiful 3rd order products on 1020 and 990 Hz. Swith to USB--> much more weaker 3rd order products or inexistent. http://ea1abz.ure.es/3erd-order.jpeg That is my K3 behaviour. Just want to know if my K3 is ok or not. Many thanks. I appreciate your effort in doing this test for me. 73, Ramiro, EA4NZ. PD: Volume at the speaker is zero to avoid vibrations inside the K3 case. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
