[amsat-bb] System NF Calculations

[Joe Leikhim <jleikhim@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is a typical noise figure for a multi-mode radio?
The 15dB in the spreadsheet example sounds like pretty sorry
performance.
The ICOM radios are spec'd at about  0.11uv (-126 dBm) for 10dB S/N in
CW/SSB modes. How does that equate to NF and  MDS?
