When I was testing the transmit power of a radio, a spur with Fc-150kHz was observed in spectrum analyzer. It appears across the frequency band 403MHz to 470MHz while transmitting. Spurs amplitude was about -70dBm, might be significant enough to cause interference to adjacent channel frequencies. Could the 150kHz be the harmonics of clock freq or something else...
Source of 150kHz spur?

Switching power supply?

Check the FCC spec, but I think -70 db is OK. The fact thay you are getting f -150, and not f +/- 150 would indicate that it is a mixer product somewhere. I would start looking back from the output stage until you find it.

might be a harmonic of the Lo in the radio... Could be a wireless microphone too.
