Our best estimate is that the best 3-bit samplers, with no RFI present
in the band, give noise levels about 10% worse than what we see with
the same tunings, at the same time, with the 8-bit samplers.  C1 is
uniformly the best of the four samplers (A1 C1 A2 C2) on a given antenna.
This is true at both C and X band, and for a couple tunings in each.
We are still waiting on Ku results.

Is this what you wanted to know?
