Yes, to clear up any confusion for anyone reading these last few posts, the dB scale on a typical RF signal generator attenuator is usually referenced to a power ratio so a 20dB change in level means a change by a factor of 10 (or 0.1) in voltage. (and not a voltage change factor of 100 as KG6YGE claims)

Maybe KG6YGE doesn't realise this?
