Paul, the Adret 4110 is great for frequency difference measurements and adjustments. For serious ADEV measurements, it's just too noisy on low tau's and has too much temperature drift / long term phase instability on high tau's. See the attched noise floor test. I have a 4110 with a paper op

https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/ANTCAL/# Look at say an old Ashtech ASH700936D_M which you can find calibrations for both SCIS and “Snow” radomes and without radome for the same antenna. I have seen more recent radomes that are hemisphere-shaped. However these are more prone to be favored bird view

Hi Mark, the tests you did are between two different sources, so it is not a test that can determine the noise floor of the instruments under test. I understand that it is still a comparison on the field between the two measuring instruments, however I think it is interesting to
