[R-390] Measuring Sensitivity

[RBethman]

Barry & Group:

The General Radio 1001A is a "peculiar" animal!

I'm on my second one.

In some respects, I'd RATHER have a URM-25(x).

It WOULD make life EASIER!

That being said, it STILL is a GOOD Signal Generator.

One just has to get through the "quirks"!
