Bruce,
John,
...

And at smaller offsets like 100Hz and less ?
Shouldn't the improvement be even bigger ?
Closer to the carrier we are dealing with bigger signals
so the ADC issues like resolution should be less important,
and the limiting factor should really be the the
phase noise of the LO's and etc.
Am I right ?
