Hi Allison,
It was not clear in my post that I was not expecting the increased voltage to fix the harmonics and replace the needed fixes to output filters and such, but only to help with the drive to the finals issues and leaving some headroom before drive levels lead to additional harmonics from overdrive. And possibility more room for flattening the gain curve over frequency.?
When a new board comes out I'll buy one. But, for our existing ones finding a minimal number of changes to improve the filters (external filters, add-on relays, etc), possibility just not using the bands where the mixer product is too close to the TX frequency to be easily filtered (won't really miss those bands), will still result in a transceiver I'd be happy to use for the price I paid. Let the more elegant fixes be applied to new productions boards and folks that want to make more the extensive mods to their transceivers.?
