[Elecraft] freq counter probe ?

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

Use the coax, it is a faraday shield (ground only at one end).
Yes, even with coax, it should not be left plugged in - especially with 
the KPA100 installed.  The other transmit circuits may pick up BFO 
harmonics from the wire and you can transmit spurs.  It is not so much 
of a problem with the K2/10, but with the KPA100, remove it.
