Hi Arlen,

The resistors might possible be for a battery
discharge for NiCads - I once had a switch to
fully drain batteries in a radio before recharging
them - NiCads were fussy about that. Your
resistor values sound about right as a 'drain' for
Nicads.

Regarding your Frequency counter, I don't believe
you can tap in and get anything but a local oscillator
readout. Not sure what the IF in a FRG-7 is, but
that's what your meter will read. Someone makes
a digital add-on for receivers that adds difference
back in so you're reading the actual frequency, not
the local oscillator.

I may be wrong on an FRG as they use a funky
tuning system that may have the fundamental
available as an oscillator but I really can't say for
sure.
