Joe you're mistaken about the ranking methodology.  At the very top of the
page, it states:

*********************************
Receiver Test Data

(Sorted by Dynamic Range Narrow Spaced)

I agree that other parameters are important, but Rob's ranking is actually
by 2 kHz IMDDR3 *only*.  Hence my quibble with ranking the K3 #1, which is
not true if based on apples-to-apples (500 Hz BW) measurements.

73,  Bill
