The ARRL composite transmit noise measurements that were published in QST are in error....

And not just for the K2. It turns out that all transmitter phase noise plots published in QST going back for many years include a 7.5 dB error in favor of the rigs. The lab has identified this error and corrected it, so going forward we'll see more accurate numbers.

Much of the error is traceable to a decades-old HP application note that, apparently, had been taken for gospel.
