Hopefully, there is much more 3rd harmonic (and upwards) than second, so it might be out-of-band. If there is more second, buy another amplifier! I have had to use an amp where the second harmonic was only about 13 dB down at the required test level. The antenna gain from the fundamental to the second harmonic changed by 15dB, so the second harmonic in the field was 2dB over the fundamental. Of course, when I tried to explain this to the bean counters, their eyes just glazed over. Unfortunately, "buy another amplifier" was not an immediate option. :-( I had to move the antenna in closer and start all over. I am beginning to think the grass must be way greener where you guys work!!! LOL.
