[Boatanchors] how to read microvolts

[Glen Zook]

It is VERY easy to measure microvolt levels without
expensive laboratory equipment.  There are hundreds of
thousands of signal generators originally made for the
commercial two-way market and military uses that have
well calibrated attenuators that read accurately down
to well under 1 microvolt.  Those include the
Measurements model 80 (and the military equivalent
TS-497 series) and model 180, the Hewlett-Packard
HP-606 and HP-608 models, the military URM-25 and
URM-26 models, etc.  All of those models can be found
for well under $200 and often for less than $50.

You really can't without expensive lab equipment, but
why try? Verify that the values in the attenuator(s)
are correct, measure at the "millivolt" level and do
the math.
