Shane,

If you note, there is nothing to be done with the RF Probe or the 
frequency counter probe in that part of Alignment and test, so you can 
go on with the Assembly Part II - you will need to frequency counter 
probe for Alignment and Test Part II.
The RF Probe is used only for troubleshooting, so ideally, you would not 
need to use it at all.
Do assemble the voltage probe and test it as indicated.  If you messed 
up that assembly too, yes, you can go back and complete the testing of 
it after building another one.

73,
