Another customer who just did the installation tested transmit close-in phase noise before/after and saw pretty dramatic results. At ± 0.5 kHz from the carrier, the new synth was down about -133 dBc, while the old was down about -115 dBc.
Does the new synth use the same chip as the KX3? It's not clear from the datasheet but it is just conceivable the Si570 could meet this spec.
