You're correct.  I had to dig around and find my spec sheet.  Live and learn
:-)

It is RMS, calibrated to a sine wave.

I understand that, and appreciate it.  The fact remains, there does appear
to be further improvement in SNNR with NR engaged, even at narrow
bandwidths.  

Perhaps someone with better lab resources will poke around at this stuff,
too.  In the meantime, I'm going to go shopping for a 339A or something
similar :-)
