I don't believe that the K3 is ranked number 1 only based on
footnotes. Consider the 100 KHz blocking numbers, the better
wide spaced dynamic range, much lower MDS (without a preamp),
or better phase noise performance (vs. the Flex-5000) and the
K3 is overall a much better, more well balanced performer.
Joe you're mistaken about the ranking methodology. At the very top of the page, it states:
*********************************
Receiver Test Data
(Sorted by Dynamic Range Narrow Spaced)
*********************************
http://www.sherweng.com/table.htmlI agree that other parameters are important, but Rob's ranking is actually by 2 kHz IMDDR3 *only*. Hence my quibble with ranking the K3 #1, which is not true if based on apples-to-apples (500 Hz BW) measurements.
