Needed a frequency counter to realign a transceiver but didn't want to spend much money on something that will sit unused most of the time.

Looked at some used Fluke counters on an auction site for about 50 dollars, those would work great but they're big and bulky. I don't have a big work bench or storage for something like that.

Found an auction for a IBQ2006ST frequency counter, looks like an HT.

It reads 4 decimal places in if you change the default gate option. For example the display might say 27.0250Mhz. There are other even cheaper chinese counters up for auction but most wont read down into the HF spectrum.

There is an antenna on it which can be removed and a wire clipped to the input then clipped onto test points but what I did was to wrap a wire around the antenna then clip the wire to the test point and that worked fine.

It's small, simple to use, has a battery, can be used to align equipment, and to test your projects out.

Posted this for anyone was looking for a little device to read frequencies.
