Howard, There are alternatives to using another signal generator (and how do you know you can trust its calibration) --
The Elecraft XG1 provides 2 levels that may be usable for calibrated lower levels (-107 dBm and -73 dBm), and a calibrated 'scope that has adequate vertical sensitivity along with a volts to dBm conversion chart should show you the higher levels. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I recently built the rf power meter discussed in the last QEX and QST > issues.
