Default Input stage for VHF frequency counter in an FPGA?

That sounds like a good idea, because theoretically we actually have
some on hand somewhere, I'll have to see if I can scare them up.

While connecting to the FPGA directly would be simpler, I do like the
idea of using an external chip as a bit of a 'fuse'. (Though
transformer coupling into the FPGA should reduce some risk)
