Randy, It sounds as though this "fellow" is talking about the *In Passband* IMD performance of a receiver, usually expressed in terms of 3rd Order Dynamic Range when BOTH test signals are inside the receiver's passband. This information can provide, for example, a useful indication of how a receiver will cope in a "No Split" pile-up situation with non-stop callers inside the passband.
The ARRL does not publish this information in their regular reviews, but have in their expanded test results for some receivers - the K2 being one example. 73, Geoff GM4ESD Randy Downs wrote on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 9:25 PM: > I'm a bit confused about an email I received.
