When servicing electronic equipment, it is sometimes required to monitor the frequency of internal oscillators, frequency references or your own input test signals. This multiple-function counter covers a frequency range of 10Hz to 2.7GHz in two ranges with separate inputs; Ch A 10Hz to 100MHz and Ch B 100MHz to 2.7GHz. The wide frequency range makes it suitable for servicing and calibrating RF equipment such as radio mics, CB and amateur transceivers. It features an eight digit LED display, low power consumption circuit design, full input signal conditioning and a highly stabilised crystal oscillator for accurate measurement. The easy to use front panel push buttons make range selection and identification a breeze. Includes BNC to croc clip test lead.

Features

  • Easy to read 8 digit LED display
