Stephen,
I don't have the data that you are requesting, but from your comment
about "solid state transceivers are not necessarily the cleanest
exciters", I would differ. Solid state transceivers are cleaner than
any of the vacuum tube exciters that I am familiar with, and that
experience goes back to the mid 1950s. The K3 is exceptionally clean
and the ARRL and Sherwood data support that.
I expect the KPA500 to be equally clean, although I do not have the data
available. Elecraft has been a "good neighbor" for others on the ham
bands, and I expect nothing less with the KPA500.
73,
