That is my point exactly. The three diode will only serve as a "protective clipper" to prevent any negative peak overshoot from causing carrier pinchoff.

Splatter is caused by the clipping process, and by carrier pinchoff. If we implement the clipping in the audio chain and follow it by a lowpass filter, we eliminate the harmonics generated by the clipping process. If we follow that by installing the circuit described by TOLLFREE in the rf chain, we can eliminate the harmonics generated by overmodulation. This might not be "spectral purity" as you think of it, but it is damn close.
