My main sig gen states "output EMF using 6dB pad" next to the socket.
WTF is a "6dB pad"?

For the calibration to be accurate on your generator it sounds like the
scale is calibrated so you need the 6 db pad after it. A 5 db pad will
reduce the power by a factor of 4 or a voltage by a factor of 2.

That last 5 should be a 6.
