Hi Jim,

I took an analog homemade VFO to generate a sine wave at 137 kHz, 20 mVp at 50 Ohm, measured with an oscilloscope. Then i added a 43 dB attenuator between RX (which has a 50 Ohm input) and VFO.

So, assuming the oscilloscope also had a 50ohm input termination, the input to the receiver would be (20mV - 43dB) = 142uV, actually 3dB more than the 100uV figure you mention.
I did the measurement with a high-Z probe while the VFO was connected to the attenuator (50 Ohm type), using a BNC T-piece. The 20 mV is the peak level (thus mVp ;-) ) while the mentioned 100 uV is rms.
