OK. You need a page about this on your web site, with one of your world
famous spread sheets (ala your tuner spec report) and that will be a
start. I forget how many Arlo Guthrie says makes a "movement" ... ;-)
In retrospect,... maybe Bob has a better idea than we first thought.
Although I favor laissez faire economics, and less gov-mt intrusion
overall, perhaps it would not exactly hurt if the FCC promulgated a
clean transmitter standard, something like the amplifier purity
standards ... you know... like the German (Reinheitsgebot) beer purity
law... that mandates transceivers must meet a minimum, but sufficiently
strict, standard for spectral purity and accuracy - like they do with
linear amplifiers - and maybe provide a limit on bandwidth (yep, that
should start a fist fight...) and mandate clean, narrow banded signals
with minimal splatter. (I am speaking generally here - I am not an
expert on this... sure got kicked on the processor issue...) :-)
So, perhaps, a new regulation on the matter might be helpful - it would
elicit a more prompt response from manufacturers than our market
pressure plan.
Again, while I don't favor gov-mt action, perhaps it couldn't hurt in
this case. Let me know when you get your new clean transmitter page on
the web site.

filthy rigs
that have come out in the past 3 years and let's start publically talking
about them and warn people not to buy them. Let's make it clear that these
specific rigs, driving a linear amplifier are producing significant
unnecessary QRM on our bands.
