Not yet. We're still testing the beta units.

But just to give you a hint:  a couple of days ago Eric measured a 
blocking dynamic range of 143 dB, and it remained 143 dB at 20 kHz, 5 
kHz, and 2 kHz.

To put this into perspective, the K2, IC-7800, Orion II, and FTDX9000 
all have a blocking dynamic range of -133 to -135.

We can't directly extrapolate to IMDDR3, but suffice to say it will be 
excellent.
