Indeed, the only way to do this is to use a signal generator with known power levels, and precision attenuators. You'll have to repeat the process over the full tuning range of the device(s) in question, sinceeffective gain will change a little with tuned frequency--that's just a natural property

Tune request is independant of external clocking--that's an orthogonal property of an instantiated device object. On TX the LO will be tuned to whatever you've set as the LO offset, so any LO leakage will appear there, but your signal will be where it's supposed to be. 570hz/915e6Hz is a residual
