I found time to run a few 2 tone IMD tests with my K3 and KPA500
combination today, these were on 80m using a 50 Ohm Cantenna load with the
spectrum measurements taken with a Microtelecom Perseus SDR. The SDR
receiver was coupled via a loop of wire around the coax to the Cantenna.
The two tones used in the test are from the internal 2 tone generator in
the K3.
First the K3 running at 20 Watts, the approximate power level used to drive
the KPA500 to 400 Watts output:

microphone:
