[Elecraft] XG2 Sig. Generator

I have a trusty Elecraft XG2 S9 Signal Generator that I've used for 
years. It produces a nice S9 signal into my K3 at 7040.3 KHz.  I'm 
trying to use it for trouble shooting a problem on a transceiver kit and 
there's something that I don't understand.  When I try to measure the 50 
uV (S9) signal with a Siglent SDS 1102 CML scope, I get nothing (no 
signal). I've tried it with the XG2 antenna connector open, and with it 
connected to a good 50 ohm dummy load.  I'm measuring at the XG2 antenna 
connector (center conductor) with the scope probe grounded on the large 
50 uV/1 uV switch which is grounded to the XG2 circuit board ground.

I'm able to measure other signals of about the same amplitude and 
frequency.

Are my expectations wrong, or am I doing something wrong???
