[Boatanchors] how to read microvolts

This may be a dumb question but I really cannot find a way to read
microvolts of RF. My old Heath RF sig gen has bad resistors in the
attenuator but I only know that by reading the values of the
resistors. What can I use to read the output of the sig gen in very
small values of microvolts?
My scope will not read that low and my VTVM with RF probe will not
read it either. I can read millivolts on various pieces of my test
equipment but the only thing I can think of is to boost the signal
with an amp and then allow for the difference as long as I can be sure
of the total gain of the amp.
Please enlighten me.
Thanks and 73, Dick KF4NS
