I think I did say "in a simplistic way". Yes I do understand what intermod
is, however, I thought a discussion of 3rd order intercept series was not in
order to answer his question. I was using the KISS approach.

Is that the same thing as what ham radio operators of 2 meter repeaters
call
"intermod" ?

No. Multipath is from the same signal arriving via two different paths
(typically resulting from a reflection), one of which is delayed enough
to cause phase cancellation.

Intermod is from separete signals of different frequencies mixing in
some nonlinear componenent either in or near the receiving apparatus,
producing signals that are the sum and difference of the two frequencies.
