[Elecraft] K2 S/n 01432..Frequecy Counter Probe...Question..?

[Andy GM0NWI]

Guy's..! ..(Don..! Hope You See This..)

After yesterdays, ...."very successful"...first "smoke test" ...goin'
MORE than accordin' to plan... I am overwhelmed to say, that "K2 S/n
01432.. Passed her first "smoke test" with flying colours...MORE than I
ever expected..!"

"..She Lives..! "

However... after the inital shock of findin' she turned on successfully, 
went
through all the proceedures, with the EEprom etc...I have carried on through 
the manual endeavouring to aspire to more success...  I am currently milling 
around on Page 44 of the manual, where they ask you to assemble a "Frequency 
Counter Probe" to allow for more testing...

Great..! More "test gadgests" for the shack..!   I am however stuck on this
one..due to the fact that I am short (I think) on another "2 pin housing" 
piece to allow this to be constructed....

Can anyone advise me on what I should/could do at this point...I dont want 
to have to take the other "probe" that I just built to pieces to use the "2 
pin housing" that I put that together with...

IS THERE..! anyway, as before, in the making of the previous probe...where 
this time I "may also" use just my normal "Multi-Meter" from page 44 
onwards, to do these tests....(not sure...! sounds a dumb question I 
know...but I've never experieced this kinda thing before...ever..)

"If" I could find a way around having one of these "Frequency Counter 
Probe"(s)...either home-brew or otherwise...I could move on with 
construction...just dont want to do the wrong thing here....as y'all 
understand...

I ALSO have a spare "Multi-Meter Probe" from an other meter if that would be 
of any use, where I could "cannabalis" (DOH..! spelling..!), something out 
of that possibly....it may be no use doin' that however...not sure..??

Answers will need to explain clearly, what I "could" do from here 
please...adopt the "KISS" method on this one..!

Thanks Again..Ever So Much for this guy's...."K2 S/n 01432 WILL Soon Be 
On-Air"....
