All noise and distortion measurements are made with Preamp OFF except where noted.
The 1 dB compression point for the RF conversion system cannot be measured from outside the instrument, nor can signals get near it in operation. This is
because the A/D converter will clip before the 1 dB compression is reached.

Each signal level –25 dBm at the RF input. 1 MHz tone separation. Attenuator = 0, Ref Level = –20 dBm.
5
Each signal level –45 dBm at the RF input. 1 MHz tone separation. Attenuator = 0, Ref Level = –40 dBm.
The BW value used in this table is the bandwidth of the channel. RF Attenuator = 10 dB. Use Flattop Window for maximum CW amplitude verification accuracy.
