Sadly, that is not always true. There is a remarkable dependence upon frequency
as well. The sweet spot on my K3S is at 7 MHz. The IMD is actually lower at
100W than at lower power. That said it goes to pot at 1.8 and 25 MHz but is
lower again at 28 MHz.

I've used them in my RV, replacing another brand to get rid of the RFI. Mission

Disclaimer: IOTA is located in Tucson, and a long time ago in another life I
moonlighted for the founders in another startup company.

That's worth $4K right there. Why manufacturers provide only front panel
connectors for these functions is a mystery to me.

I believe that is the case. However, one point on the water piping should be
bonded to the service ground for safety reasons. Using the piping for
current-carrying purposes is a really bad idea. Keywords: Copper pipe, dirt,
concrete slab, jackhammer. Don't ask me how I know.

If you want better you might look at the past results of the ARRL FMT (which
coincidentally was held last night) to read the soapbox comments of what other
folks are using.
