Guys,

This comment in no way is mean spirited, but truly a concern after reading all of this tech data.

For those of us who do not have 100K in test equipment and a EE, I am starting to feel like I should not even get on the air. I get the concept, but the best I can do is make good clean connections, do not overdrive my audio and hope for the best. I have to have faith in the equipment builders or find a new hobby.

Processing issues heard on the air today simply make the discussion of final
amplifier spectral purity moot.



Comparing processing issues and transmitter IMD are mixing apple and
oranges.  Processing issues generally affect the quality of signal
*on channel* - the ability to understand the audio - whilst IMD is the
"off frequency" splatter up/down the band that interferes with everyone
*except* your own QSO.

While both are important it is the IMD that represents a "spurious"
signal outside the bandwidth required for communication - typically fie to ten KHz above and below the desired RF.
