Pretty sure that counter has two SO-239 sockets in back, so it can be inserted between the radio and antenna feed line. The sensitivity on those two sockets is reduced so the radio's full output power won't blow out the counter's input circuit.

But to probe a test point inside the radio, you need an input jack with higher sensitivity than that. Can't remember if that model also provides this, in addition to the two coax sockets.

thanks nomad yes = i use to have a b&k freq that use to do that.then the dam thing went south on me so the question is should i adjust it using the so239 or it would be more accurate using the test point ?? and anybody know or recommend the correct inexpensive freq counter for it
