That's why on more than one occasion I've said that to evaluate a transceiver's
receiver performance, instead of a couple of HP8663 signal generators, two other
like transceiver transmitters should be used as the signal sources for the
measurements, until that is, our transceivers have the spect
No question about it, they're necessary. I discovered these spurs five years
ago. (My how time flies...seems like only yesterday)

In over five years of ownership I've never heard this birdie before so I don't
know whether it's new or I just missed it before.
The birdie is S9 on 7.067 MHz and tunes at a 6X rate in the negative direction.
It's definitely internal. Anyone else ha

You would need to know the unloaded Q of the capacitor(s) and Inductor(s) in the
circuit when a match is obtained and the complex impedance (not the SWR) of the
load to calculate the total loss. More than likely, it will be highly frequency
dependent.

Sorry, but the chart is showing mismatch loss. When we use a tuner, we don't
suffer mismatch loss; we suffer tuner losses, which despite the claim(s), can be
appreciable.
