Used by itself like this, it would be a statment of noise level - ie any higher DMax 
will be lost in noise, it being below the scanners ability to discriminate. But I 
think Leaf probably meant to say OD range = 3.7, as most mfr's specify this parameter, 
meaningless though it is without qualification.
