[Elecraft] K3 phase noise & BDR - how related?

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

Okay you techie gurus...please teach me ....

How does the composite TRANSMITTED phase noise impact the RECEIVE BDR specs?

I admit that over the decades I've frequently noted that the ARRL
review cite that the rx spec is "phase noise limited" but I never
thought that they meant XMIT phase noise.

Help me learn!
