[Elecraft] XG2 Sig. Generator

[Don Wilhelm]

Randy,

That scope has a sensitivity of 2mV per division on the most sensitive 
setting.  That is 2000uV per division.  The 50uV output of the XG2 would 
show up as only 1/40th of a division on your 'scope - that may not be 
enough to discern easily.
If you are using a 10X probe then the XG2 output would be only 1/400th 
of a division - very difficult to see.
