Hmm, compliance with what? The rig meets Elecraft specs and since the
FCC doesn't regulate TX IMD there is nothing to comply with.
The problem I have is accepting the status quo by Elecraft. Just because
everybody else is around -30dB shouldn't mean Elecraft stop trying to do
better. Let the portable/backpacking rigs use 12V MOSFETS and switch the
desktop model K3(s) to higher voltage finals. Yeah, yeah, I know, the
K3(s) is supposed to be portable capable. How many people take their
K3(s) out in the sticks...ever...save Field Day?
Just because it has a carry strap doesn't mean it's a portable rig. My
TS-520 has a beautiful leather strap. It weighs 37 pounds. Anybody know
where I can rent a mule?

Elecraft has sold me a radio specifying it to be in compliance with
specifications of IMD. Now you are telling me that I must bear the
burden of time and expense to bring the device you specified and
guaranteed to be in compliance, into compliance.
I built mine from a kit, so Elecraft you send me the necessary boards,
modules, whatever to bring my K3s into compliance and I will return to
you the defective boards,, modules, whatever. Then you can rework the
defective boards for the next exchange. I will spend the time and
effort of disassembly and re-assembly.
