Jean-Francios, It is quite possible to use the internal counter (CAL FCTR) for external measurement - just don't forget that the ground must be connected to the Device Under Test too - the normal K2 counter probe does not connect the ground at the probe end when measuring inside the K2 because the ground is continuous inside the K2 - and external probe would need a ground (similar to a 'scope probe ground). I had had many thoughts about providing a connector on the left side panel that would accept an external probe, but I acquired an accurate frequency counter before I got around to implementing that 'feature'.
