This review site, for unknown reasons, thinks this is a toy. It's a fine, accurate, easy to use frequency counter and lives up to all it's claims.

As the other reviewer said, this is not a toy. This is a frequency counter used to display a radio frequency when a radio is transmitting.. It is a nice counter. I paid $105.00 for it through Amazon.. I felt that was a square buy. I see it is now $135.. For that price, I would keep shopping. There are other counters on the market that are a better value than the current price of this one.. Other than that, I am happy with it.. I needed one quick and it did the trick..
