Bill,
The distortion and harmonics are in the audio section, which when over driven 
are no longer linear.  The harmonics that you are seeing are audio,, not RF.  
The RF signal is still linear.

 Sometimes you see the 2nd and sometimes the 3rd (and once I've seen the 4th).  
Depends on how well the rig suppresses the 2nd harmonic.
   
   
 
Hi Mike,
 
I don't understand how you come to the conclusion that the rig could suppress a 
2nd harmonic and not not suppress a 3rd harmonic of audio passed to it by at 
least the same amount. I can't think of any way that could happen with an SSB 
transmitter unless the fundamental is below ~200Hz.
 
OTOH odd-integer harmonics are often the result of clipped signal distortion.
