[time-nuts] HP3325B as LO for a transceiver or receiver? Phase noise?

[Artek Manuals]

The question that remains begging here from the original post (maybe off 
topic ?) is how low a phase noise does he really NEED in this 
application? We here at time-nuts tend to think in the 10e-12 minutia 
area, but In this application ( a HF Communications receiver) the 3325B  
may be "good enough" that PN wont really be an issue as a practical 
matter. Don't see who the original poster is from this snippet but a 
possible better place to get a "practical" answer might be over on the 
EEVBlog?
