Antenna Correction Factors

[ImLost]

I've entered a list of factors into my Rhode Schwarz software. The factors are given in dBm. My problem is that I want to take measurements in dBuV. By entering my list in dBm I'm automatically locked in to dbm for everything. I tried converting to dBuV, but the software only allows up to 100 and my factor for 26MHz is 21.2, which when converted is 128.2.
Any thoughts?

Both dBm and dBuV are units that result in absolute values. For example, 20dBm is 100 milliwatts.

Antenna factors should be relative sensitivity adjustments, like dB. 100 should be plenty for even a damp string(*).

Is this the root of the problem?

(* an example of a really poor antenna...)

Here is some good info:

"...antenna factor is the factor by which one would multiply the output voltage of a receiving antenna to obtain or recover the incident electric or magnetic field."
