That is why I try to encourage the local Field Day group to use only
Elecraft gear. Even though we do not typically operate more than one
transceiver on a single band, the YKI types can cause problems on other
harmonically related bands. We used to have a Yaesu FT-900 on SSB, and
it caused problems.
Typically we are class 2A with a GOTA station.

It's easy to demonstrate this. My real-world setting is Field Day,
and the example is actually what my team experienced.
Take four rigs in a Field Day setting, within 100 yards of each other.
Make sure one of them is a K3, and the others are Y/K/I types.
On the same band, any of the Y/K/I rigs will create so much wideband
[phase] noise on transmit that none of the other rigs are usable on
receive. Transmit on the K3 and all the other rigs are usable on
receive (same band, mind you). No BPF required in this case.
This is very real-world. It's also the reason DXpeditioners use
Elecraft products in close proximity with no ill effects. Field Day
is just my Regular Joe example of the same thing.
Yes, there is a huge difference - not just a statistic for the charts.
