Many people seem to be either forgetting, or missing the point of Leif's article (referenced below). The entire thrust was in the context of using an HF transceiver as an IF rig with VHF/UHF/SHF transverters. Band noise on those higher freqs is low enough that transmitted phase noise can be an issue. This is especially true when running high power.
His summation was that the Flex-1500 is marketed as being perfect for driving microwave transverters. His article outlines why this may not be true. The FLEX SDR radios are not as objectionable on the HF bands, where atmospheric and other noise dominates.
