>This is a small, 2.1" x 1.8" x .45" counter and uses a four digit. 0.4" LED
>display. Frequency range of 40 KHz to 49 MHz. A display shift button allows
>viewing the most significant MHz digits or the least significant KHz
>digits, down to 100 Hz. It's sensitive enough I can read the frequency of
>the local 1KW AM radio station, about a mile away, by putting my fingure on
>the input! (admittly though, the last couple of digits bounce around some)
>A 1" dia pick up loop put next to a VFO coil is enough to get a stable
>reading on the counter.

>An IF offset can be programmed (and stored in eeprom) for use as a
>digi-dial. Offsets of VFO + IF, VFO - IF or IF - VFO = Rx freq can be
>programmed. Also has "sleep mode" which turns the display off to conserve
>power if battery operated. Display automaticly "wakes up" if frequency
>changes by about 200 Hz or so.
>
>Price of this kit is $32.00, which includes shipping.
