[Elecraft] Low power draw, low power out?

That's what I figured... or something confusing the power meter into
thinking it's kicking out far more than it really is (EG set to 5W, it
pretends it's producing about 7W, but is actually producing about 1W
according to DL1+DMM)

That seems to involve testing RX first, because of the shared circuitry,
which unfortunately seems to require 0.14V from a signal generator, and
my only signal generator is the Elecraft XG1, producing 50uV.   :-(

Is it possible/sensible to test the shared circuits the other way
'round, whilst transmitting into DL1?
