Jack,

all these measurements, for all radios has been via PHONE-OUT.
There is two-tone measurements, but you can see these IMD even with XG1 set to s9-level.
Here is my K3 with s9-signal from XG1:
- ATT On http://forum.cqham.ru/download.php?id=32030
- ATT/PRE Off http://forum.cqham.ru/download.php?id=32031
- PRE On (it's terrible)  http://forum.cqham.ru/download.php?id=32032

P.S. Yes, I visited clifton-web, line-out has same distortion as phone-out. :-(

This is an issue with the isolation transformers in the LINE OUT ports. I've measured similar levels, and shown how they might be reduced.

You will not see the same degree of distortion on the headphone output port.

GA for all K3 users.
So many guys has talks about perfect audio sound of K3.
So many talks about "analog K3 sound" on e-ham.
But how it possible if K3 have the so bad in-band IMD?
You can read about "in-band-IMD-measurements" in russian here:
http://forum.cqham.ru/viewtopic.php?t=17119&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=0 Or you can simply look on the pictures, where is in-band IMD-measurements of SDR-5000, IC-7800, IC-756pro2 and K3 - so bad for HI-FI sound announced by many K3-users:
it's for S9-level http://forum.cqham.ru/download.php?id=31966
and it's for S9+50 level http://forum.cqham.ru/download.php?id=32004
and even measurements of S/S+N-rate is poor: http://forum.cqham.ru/download.php?id=32003
