Thanks Don.

Does this sig. gen require the use of a 3-6 dB pad on the output?

It doesn't require a pad. This one came with a 20dB pad and a terminated
connector. I recall another one I used a lot that did have a pad (6 dB I
think) and there were calibration marks on the output attenuator that would
allow you to calibrate with or without the pad. For some reason we always
used the pad. It was probably a better match.
