Hello! I've been reading the mail with pleasure. But I'm sad that it seems like electronics has progressed so much that it's hard to have fun with if you're only half-smart, like me. My solution is to work on old tube radios.
For this I need a frequency counter that goes to maybe 500 MHZ (I might want to use my ham ticket on VHF someday). I'd like it to be fairly cheap (no more than $300) and above all reliable and sturdily built. I'd like it to be new. I want this thing to last!
I've completely lost track of who makes such things and which makers are good. Would anyone care to recommend a company or model or both? Even the simplest knowledge would be more than I have now.
Thanks in advance
Leonard
