[Elecraft] OT: Calibrated Signal Generator

[W3FPR - Don Wilhelm]

Howard,

There are alternatives to using another signal generator (and how do you
know you can trust its calibration) --

The Elecraft XG1 provides 2 levels that may be usable for calibrated lower
levels (-107 dBm and -73 dBm), and a calibrated 'scope that has adequate
vertical sensitivity along with a volts to dBm conversion chart should show
you the higher levels.

73,
Don W3FPR
