I've taken a shot of the waveform into the 50 ohm input. It's around
850mV peak-peak. Hopefully the slight distortion I spoke about is
visible; the slightly more leisurely negative-going excursions WRT
their positive-going counterparts. So it's not a pure sine wave as one
would expect. Does it matter? I don't know!

The shape looks perfectly acceptable to me. This is +3dBm into 50 Ohms.
Is that what it's supposed to be? Canned reference oscillators most
often deliver +13dBm, sometimes +10dBm.
Is it? I only make it about half your figure: +1.65dBm.
I admit I'm frequently prone to careless errors, so stand to be corrected,
but here's my method:
850mV peak to peak is 425mV peak voltage. Average of that is 0.425x0.636 =
0.27V. Average power is average volts squared divided by the load
impedance of 50 ohms = 1.46mW = +1.65dBm.
I shall consult the manual to see what it ought to be - if I can find it,
that is, as PDF manuals are a nightmare to navigate IME.
Use 0.71 for RMS instead of 0.636 ! I make that about 1.8mW or +2.6dBm ?
Or +2.9dBm if using the 0.88v pk-pk I think is shown in the scope pic
rather than the 0.85v figure of your message.
