Just because it's an HT doesn't mean the TX is dirty. My IC-32AT's TX looks a lot cleaner on the spectrum analyzer than several interference-causing repeater TXs I've looked at over the years. These weren't hideously spurious TXs, just unusually high in phase noise (-90 to -100 dBc/Hz @ several 100 kHz out from the main carrier). Bob NO6B
