JUMA PA100D 3rd order distortion
Posted: 14 Aug 2012 18:44Everyone,
When I passed along the information to the Elecraft Forum about the PA100-D linear, one of the members indicated that no information as provided about the 3rd order IMD distortion. With the limited equipment I have available at my station i measured -35db from my KX3 running 5 watts out directly, and -28 DB out of the Juma PA100-D driven by the KX3. I have to assume that the very low IMD from the KX3 will contribute to the reading of the PA100-D's output. I don't have a perfect signal sourse to drive the linear. Any thoughts on the matter?
