In the ongoing discussion of spurs it is important to remember what is
considered "good engineering practice". Think about the specifications for
most transceivers. They quote spurious response "60dB down from full power"
or so. The problem is, your panadaptor clearly displays output that is 100dB
or more down. So spurious responses that are well within spec are clearly
obvious. Not to mention that you can see spurs that are not in the passband
and would never be detectable if they were present in other receivers.

So this whole problem of spurs needs to be taken in context. Just 'cause you
can see 'em doesn't necessarily mean that others can hear 'em or that they
are going to interfere with your own operation. Such are the problems that
come from new technology that pushes back the limits to where the
heretofore-hidden blemishes become apparent.
