Re: Searching for IMD
Thanks Warren, That is exactly what I was looking for. It just so happens I have all the parts and will make the mod asap and wait to see what else will be recommended. Joel N6ALT

Re: Searching for IMD
Reasonable people can disagree. At -12 dB IMD distortion products become audible within the signal itself.? IMD is one component of the Total Harmonic Distortion spec that we see for our audio

Re: Searching for IMD
Warren did us a service by showing that IMD on the uBitx is worse than it should be and where that is coming from.? I agree it should be fixed. However,? some IMD and some residual carrier are

Re: si5351 crosstalk

Hi Jerry, The simple voltage divider you suggest in the linked message could provide a simple solution. No reason that the drive to the mixers needs to be set with a pad, as the Si5351 is not a lab

Re: Searching for IMD
Indeed it shows some mess on the SSB mode. It is not a K3. I am curious how the MFJ SSB hf transceivers, like the 9420 which have a powerful average power, behave on this respect (IMD). And also how

Re: Searching for IMD
Possibly the gain of the transistors at 45 MHz is insufficient, and thus there is much less effective negative feedback. Better transistors might allow the negative feedback to reduce the IMD. Cheers,
