can the pictured freq counter be added to a cobra 148gtl and A Washington base?

Where is the best point on a Washington base with pll 8734/8719 to attach wire.

What is the offset for these radios to be set on freq counter?

I just need to do Am channels at this time to monitor.

thanks

Thanks for the info I got it to work.
On a washington/trc RS490 same radio.

Used TP1 R184 and you cant use a long wire. also I have a roll of rg316 coax and used a piece about 24inches long worked great picked up all reg channels and also all the extra channels high and low..

Of course the freq counter will only see AM frequency. There is no offset for SSB, but thats ok for now for me as I am just doing something for the am channels i needed.
