Thanks all for replies - it appears the oven control is generating some harmonics that are getting onto the 5MHz and then I'm picking them up - if i don't create some form of closer connection - currently just have the output lead (floating BNC) about 1' from K3.
The single wire solution looks promising.

I had a gen that would give me 1mV and I found that it produced a signal that was so wide there was no way to accurately zero up on it. But if I
turned the output of my generator off I found that there was enough
cross talk across the output relay to generate a lot of signal into the
radio.  So its quite possible that you can pull this off.  Or if all
else fails just put a terminator on your generator and run a cable out
of it (just a single wire).  then you can run a wire into the rig and
you can then couple these wires more or less to vary the amount of
signal that you want/need.

what is the max input voltage on Ant 1 & 2?
I have a ref osc that gives 5MHz at ~ 5mV, I'd like to use this to do
a ref cal by direct connection to ant 1 or 2
