Hi,
Thanks to all for curing my acute senility, here is how the project 
turned out:

I bought the counter from Ron:

I understand that as it only detects the PTO frequency, accuracy is not 
ideal w/o the other inputs
properly accounted for.

I might experiment with this other unit (Thanks Bob)

to see if I can adapt it to the R-390A for more accuracy.

If not, I'll put it on the 32S-3.

What I am trying to accomplish, (other than collect more piles of 
lights, displays, knobs, buttons...)
is to find a way to use the 32S-3 to transmit on a known frequency for 
SSB, and be able to easily
tune the R-390A to receive on that frequency.

There is probably a better way, but as I am new to this hobby, 
collecting more piles of gear seems indicated.
