When I look at units for sale that included the probe, it looks "fat" which led me to assume there were possibly parts within it that keep from frying the tracer
Can you please take a photo of your unit, .. I need to see all your switches,knobs, test lead input, output, and hopefully they’re all legible & your Analog, VU meter.
Please reference the schematic supplied, On the input it looks like
you have a variable attenuation; up to 60dB’s in 20dB steps.
Also… you have series connected 100K Ohm + or - 0.1% resistor to the input. There’s nothing extraordinary
(minimal options) I think your unit came with the a couple of probes, some wire along with alligator clips.
Get out your old boat anchors I could Gide you as to where to inject the signal and where to probe that signal. almost forgot we’re gonna need an oscilloscope
Have to see if your generated AF/RF signal is rich harmonics so we could test the IF amplifiers in your radios.
