Topic: Buying a Frequency counter help needed

[rsrichie]

Yep bought a handheld on off ebay for about $15, then i saw the exact one being sold at the Feild day for $99 lol.
It works great and got my ICF221 back into shape.

Cheers

 I am looking for advise on frequency counters. I need one to tune my radio as i was silly enough to play with the maker reserve, but that aside i need to get a frequency counter. I am not looking at spending a fortune as it is a device i will proberly only use the once i found a few on ebay but as i am inexperianced in this area i am hopeing you good people out there may be able to offer me some valuable information so i can make a informed decision on what to buy.
 Here are the ones i am considering but would be happy to pay more should i get better results.
