[Central-Electronics] CE-100V Power

[Gordon]

Ok Guys, \Please help me out here:
I am trying to figure out how to sweep the bands during alignment of my 
100V!
I have the scope , which is the Tektronix 2235.
I built the two little circuits from the CE-100 manual for the detector 
and the sweep probes.
When I hook it up and select, for example,  13.5 Mhz to 14.5 Mhz on the 
sweep generator, I do NOT show a pattern like what is shown in the manual.
What can I possibly be ding wrong?
I can not get it to show just one  hump, or whatever it is called. I 
show multiples and can not seem to get it to show just one like the 
manual shows.

I have the Sweep Generator going through the Sweep probe circuit shown 
in the manual going into the grid of the driver tube, I have the 
VFO/Crystal switch to Crystal,  , ..I have the scope going to the 50 ohm 
dummy load through the  Detector probe in the manual,  I must be missing 
something.
Can someone help?  I must be missing something!

Thanks,
Gordo
