If you got real 50 Ohms, the Attenuator is usually 50 Ohms in dB (Power).? You can calculated it.? But you have to know what is coming out of the generator.? You can convert between power and uV with P = E squared/R(that is 50 ohms).? There are also nice charts you can search for, or make your own in Excel.

Measure your output of the generator into the Attenuator with X10 probe and highest freq scope you can get.?

But a bigger signal ahead of the Attenuator are a lot easy to measure.? I use my attenuator all the time, maybe 80 dB cranked in?

I can't recommend the K5BCQ more, it is cheap and works great.? You can make you own real easy.? 1W mox resistors from Mouser work fine.

Make some 20 dB, 6 and 3 stages?

What is that modulation he is using?? My generator does not have that.

So far I can't get my BitX to get much below -105 dBm? How his works to -140 is amazing!

I have been using AM modulation and listening for beat?

I could not hear the audio on you tube, luckily it came up at the end?

I haven't watched the video (at work, no sound) but when I did my test I
did it the same way Raj did. CW and tune off a bit as if you were working
a CW contact. I was able to get -130 but not much below that, my
generator doesn't go below -137 and it was gone before I got that low.

Mike he is sweeping 1 KHz, not modulating. 7.150 -7.151
