I'm wondering if the average user would understand "Criterion A" or
"Criterion B".  

Why not use a statement something like:  "Operation near radio 
interference
sources with frequencies of (list frequencies) may cause (insert your observed
problem).  If you notice this type of performance, call tech support."

**CriteriON**. Yes, provided the immunity lapses are not too broad in
frequency. How broad is 'too broad' depends on what services use the
band(s) where the lapses occur.

Maybe a graph.

Not in the DoC.

I don't think that's enough; you should provide the details up-front.
