Finally, someone answered my question!

Original question:

Now, if someone says they were pulling -95dB before the upgrade and -75dB after, that would be a verifiable improvement.
And then today I saw this:

That's what I was looking for... though as luv2chill pointed out, it would be better to do a before/after on the same phone, which was my original point. I honestly didn't want to go through the whole flashback to the original radio and then to the new just to find out... was hoping someone more forward thinking than me would have thought about this before they upgraded their radio.

Doesn't sound like it, though. So, my original question still stands, if there is anyone out there that hasn't upgraded yet and is planning on it.
