Just a quick note amidst working on the Orion expanded report
(it will be ready early next week). Receiver phase noise can
be measured fairly simply in most transceivers by using a
very clean crystal oscillator and a step attenuator. It is
more time consuming than testing transmit composite noise,
but I did it for the Orion anyway, and will include a plot in
the report.

trim the excess off your replies (there has been a lot of
unnecessary quoting recently).
