Peter, I took a closer look at the AOR 7030 phase noise plot. Out to 5 kHz or so the K2 is noticeably better (11 dB better at 2 kHz). Farther out the 7030 has the advantage. But remember that the 7030 measurements were made in receive mode, whereas the K2's were made in transmit mode, where

Wayne, Thanks for your dedicated response to my phase noise question. I understand now why and how K2's LO design differs from the usual. Indeed, I noticed that at less than 5 KHz/dbc your VCXO+DACvaricaps approach show less oscillator noise than the famous AOR7030 design ( the7030Plus should

Hi Peter, Thanks for your kind comments, and I hope you enjoy your new K2. Indeed, I noticed that at less than 5 KHz/dbc your VCXO+DACvaricaps approach show less oscillator noise than the famous AOR7030 design ( the7030Plus should be even bit better ). However, after 15 KHz/dBc the AOR 7030
