Perhaps it's a matter of personal preference, but with a good generator 
on the bench, I can't make a quick estimate of minimum discernable 
signal.  If I can't hear a 1 uV 30% modulated AM signal there's probably 
something amiss.  If your gong to "align" high-performance receivers, 
you ought to find yourself a LAB GRADE signal generator rather that a 
SERVICE GRADE or hobbyist level instrument.  They aren't that expensive 
or hard to come by.
