Now let's be clear - you will still get RF output without this resistor. You can still do an alignment without this resistor.
However, the get the best results (and keep your generator happy) you should use one. It will also mean your output level meter should be accurate,

Notice there is also a resistor and 1,000 pF capacitor inside the demodulator probe.
That's what Pentode was talking about adding. It's a low pass filter and will help remove noise if you have a fuzzy trace.
I'm not sure based you your scope screenshots if that's really what your trouble is.


I had just pulled out both those probes from the 369! Unfortunately, they have the funky male connector on the end and not the male BNC. I'll have to Amazon some overnight and get them swapped out. New Tektronix 465 coming tomorrow as well so maybe a reboot...(another thread???) would be a good thing to do.
