Frequency Counter

[jerneedog]

I tried searching for this on the forums, but didn't really find anything?

I was wondering what does a Frequency Counter do?
Does it just find frequencies for you?

Thanks.

wait a couple more months (October/November) and you'll be able to buy the newest Uniden scanner with a built-in freq counter for about 1/2 the price of a REAL freq counter from Opto Electronics...

plus, you get a nice scanner, too!

Any more info on it?

no worries!

Frequency counters seem to be a hard concept for ppl to grasp sometimes. The misconception is that if one has a frequency counter in hand, then all of a sudden, massive power is unleashed to sniff out frequencies. It is much, much more complicated than that ..

Give the information time to sink in, reread it a couple of times, and if you still have questions .. by all means ask!

That thread might be confusing in of itself because I was trying to point out that techinally (spliting hairs here, I know ..) a frequency cannot be called "analog" or "digital".

It is the intelligence that is being transported by the frequency is what can be called "analog" or "digital".

Close Call RF Capture Technology, sounds cool. I just might have to pick one of these up someday.

Hey Lindsay, how about some official stickies for these upcoming scanners (at this rate, you might even want to consider creating a seperate forum for the new scanners coming out)?

Sounds like a good idea to me...I've learned so much just from reading posts here.
