IMD measurements by Geoff GI0GDP

To help understand the conversion of watts to amps, let's go through what each of these units represent. What are amps? Orange amplifiers are something of a connoisseur’s choice in the amp world.

If darker tones are your thing, keep this control relatively low. If you want shimmering high-end then a higher setting will allow you to access this with ease. Geoff GI0GDP has measured the IMD performance of this Linear amp on 20m (14MHz) at full power 10W PEP output and found it to be very good. Geoff's test set-up:
