At 60 watts,  the level of input was providing the maximum level of ALC recommended for SSB operation.  While clearly being over driven, it is interesting to see the performance is not much worse than some of the other measurements at much lower levels (~-21db) and remarkably similar in appearance.
Since the KWM-2A performance better than expected, I decided to look at the combination KWM-2A and 30L1 linear amplifier.  The 30L1 output level was adjusted to 200 watts output which corresponds to a level of 30 watts drive from the KWM-2A.  The following spectrum photograph shows the results.  Again the frequency is 14.070 MHz  and analyzer settings are as in previous measurements.
