K3 IMD measurement

[Julian, G4ILO]

After reading a recent post referring to the KK7UQ IMD meter I ordered one. It received unanimous rave reviews on eham.net and I am really looking forward to receiving it. Glenn, who runs US Interface, who sells it, is a pleasure to deal with, too.

A thought just occurred to me, that someone who already owns one and has a K3 might be able to answer. Since the K3 has a built-in two tone generator for making PA IMD measurements, could the KK7UQ IMD meter be used to measure SSB IMD performance too, or is it calibrated purely for PSK use?

Unless Clint has updated the firmware it's for PSK.
However, the K3 also has a built-in PSK generator, so you can just go
into PSK DATA D mode and not send anything with the paddles, adn it will
send an idle tone, which is all zeros (crossings).
