Update, I was trying to read output voltage at 130Mhz on a scope that only went up to 60Mhz, a senior moment I think. Remeasured again on a 100Mhz scope and it seems that its chucking out about 600mv at 100Mhz and around 3 volts pp at 116Khz on the high output jacks.

To be honest I'm amazed that the 60Mhz scope was still able to give me a reasonable trace so far beyond its range, maybe it was harmonics?

I read Skywaves thread regarding this sig gen and I think I'll need to check the caps before I go much further as my sine waves are badly distorted on the lower bands.
