Adam Rong (BD6CR) wrote this in his manual for his D4D/FT8 kit:
"Do we have to worry about the unwanted Lower Side Band (LSB)
and Inter-Modulation Distortion (IMD)? Maybe, but for a transmitter
of 1-watt, it is not really a big problem for occasional field, SOTA or
experimental purposes. Is it just a toy for a transmitter of 1-watt and
only half of the effective power? Not really, as I can easily make a
few QSO¡¯s as far as 1500 miles range even for 40-meter band when
the propagation opens."

With all the controversy surrounding this kit I am sorry I even purchased
it. It's sitting here waiting to be assembled. I suppose I'll throw the PCB
boards away and keep the parts for future projects. With so many problems
surrounding dsb (other than simplicity) I cannot understand why the qrpguys
put this kit out. In retrospect I would have paid extra just to have a
proper SSB signal after reading all the comments in this thread.
