AWR6843AOP: IsIdle channel spurs -90dBFS equal to -80dBm for AWR6843AOP?

Part Number: AWR6843AOP

Tool/software:

Hello TI Sirs/Madams,

According to this post, I learned "If we use 12bit ADC mode. [Positive peak value at the ADC input]=[1V peak voltage at the ADC input]=[10dBm power]". I try to calculate as below:

(Q1: Is my calculation correct?)

According to this document, I learned that "0 dBFS is power of full-scale", which means when input power 10 dBm=0dBFS, input power 13 dBm = 3dBFS. According to AWR6843AOP datasheet, Idle channel Spurs is -90dBFS . According to this post, idle channel spur is the the spur level when Tx is off. 

(Q2: is the -90dBFS = -80 dBm?)

(Q3: if Q2 is correct, does it mean there is always some spurs of -80 dBm in the Rx spectrum, even when Tx is not sending anything?)

Many Thanks
