Hi Tom,

The signal put out by the XG1 is so low in amplitude that the only 
point in the circuit you can trace with it is the audio amplifier, and 
perhaps the output of the product detector. It is intended for 
calibration at signal levels usually only seen in on-air operation (1 
to 50 microvolts).

If you'd like to trace signals through the rest of the receive chain, 
you'll need a signal in the 10s or 100s of millivolts. That's where the 
oscillator in Appendix E comes in. We provided a full list of 
signal-tracing points based on the use of this oscillator and the RF 
probe supplied with the K2.
