[R-390] Yet another question... sigh...

(Trying to answer my own question)

The HP-200CD is supposed to put out 11.5V at full scale when across
600-ohms.  11.5V across 600-ohms yields 220mW.  This checks out on my
TS-585.  Based on that, 5V RMS (which I found out the AN/URM-127's output is
measured in) should yield about 42mW.

Should I leave the TS-585 in the circuit such that the 600-ohms load is
present and set the HP-200CD to get 42mW on the TS-585 to get the 5V
specified in the test?

Thanks!
