Hi Alan,
I assume this is Ebay item 110018394886 or 110015625846.

Both certainly have a frequency display in the photo - although the 
instruments look a bit beaten up.
My D2006s are older than this and my K2155 is younger, so I don't know if 
this information is relevant
http://www.m0wye.radiouk.com/K2155.htm
http://www.m0wye.radiouk.com/LF.HTM
On the D2006 you have a coarse frequency control and a fine one. You have to 
move the coarse control to the next MHz step, you get a faint "clunk" from 
inside the instrument, and the "Lock" light illuminates. If the "Lock" light 
is not lit the frequency is undefined.
So it might just be a case of moving the coarse frequency control until the 
loop locks.

On the K2155 there is a switch to turn off the tracking generator and I 
think the frequency display blanks then.
