You can use it as field strength meter at the same time (measure field strength and frequency of signal at the same time).

If you replace antenna with meter cable (need to replace BNC connector on cable to proper UHF connector first). I have such one and use it as TX field strength meter on selected frequency.

I any case take some of hand-held version. I am very satisfied with PFM1300 from Thurbly Thandar Instruments (UK).

Hi.
i have one like this and i have replaced the antenna with cable, but i want a Lab counter. I have 3 counters (one mobile and 2lab) but i need a lab one to read until 2.4 Ghz or more. The cheap mobile counters don't give good results if the waveform is not very good or perfect. My homemade counter is very good but reads only to 250 Mhz with 4 digits so i need to play with the base time. So i need one counter with 8 or more digits and upper frequency 2.4 or more Ghz and to have good input stage so to read all waveforms. I find Racal at good price but they are 15... 20 years old. From the other way i am not sure for the new and cheap china counters. Who is yoyr opinion????
