That's interesting re the FTDX3000. I run a KX3 qrp, and to get 100w
with KXPA100 w ATU new, I am looking at $2650 (aud) , whereas
I can get a new FTDX3000 for $2000 from the local Yaesu dealer, which
seems way better value to get 100w operating option.
I know some IMD fussy types that use the FTDX, so on your comments Jim,
I may have to investigate further.
Thankyou for the info.

Not related to AM, but my P3/SVGA sees a LOT of very splattery SSB
signals generated by low cost JA transceivers. A few weeks ago during
a contest, I saw it on the signal of a local, fairly new ham, told him
about it, and volunteered to help him fix it by listening and watching
as he adjusted drive to his amp. Turned out it was his radio, a $1700
Yaesu FTDX3000. Splatter from these signals is often as wide on both
sides of the signal as the signal itself. I measured his splatter as
less than 20 dB down from his intentional signal.
There's a roundtable that hangs out just above the FT8 slot on 160;
most of the radios are clean, but there's usually one or two that
splatters down into FT8.
