You don't need to transmit into most older analyzers. Much more than 10dBm
will croak some of them. You could do that with some signal generators.

My 8554B says "Maximum 10 dBm" on the front in big red letters.

There's probably a reason why they put that on the panel.

I think it must go back to what devices were available at that time; my
8558B specifies no more than +30dBm.
