The RUT (Rig Under Test) is set up for SSB operation, and two pure sinewave nonharmonically related audio tones in the audio passband are fed into it. Output is examined with a spectrum analyzer. A perfect rig would emit two carriers and nothing else. Imperfections (odd-order IMD products) show up as carriers besides the two desired ones. 73 de Jim, N2EY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
