It might be helpful to clarify that since this is a voltage ratio, it's 20log rather than the 10log used for power (e.g., doubling voltage is 6dB, doubling power is 3dB), so the scaling will look different than a typical spectrum analyzer. (It would be nice if the instrumentation blocks could have an option to select voltage, or power into 50 or 75 ohms...)
Yes, and we need 50 ohm and 75 ohm terminator blocks in GRC..... :) :)

But, seriously, one can always prefix any instrumentation block with a scaling function in the ax + b form with a multiplier and adder to achieve whatever
  pleasant-and-convenient scaling one wants.

This pops up a lot, and hence earned a spot on the FAQ a while back:

...although that section could surely be expanded.

I just did so :)
