Rick, Is the report public? Do you have a link to it?

I have personally witnessed 3rd-order IMD improve from -30 dBc This doesn't even sound like the same system that was in the report. Always good to have a second opinion. Maybe you should have written the report. The report mentioned how critical it was to get the input signal just below clipping and it required the user to ride the gain. Doesn't sound adaptive to me. I guess we will have to wait for a larger number of users to try this in the real world and see how reproducible it is. Interesting technology.
