 Amateur Radio RF Measurements:

 

 500MHZ Frequency Counter and RF Meter: FC4

 

A Project by:

Tony / I2TZKFrank / K7SFN , Dinesh / VU2FD

 

FC4: 500MHZ Frequency Counter and RF Meter 

Graphic CPU used in FC4 is a core of our "INFINITY" Project and is developed keeping in mind that we use same CPU/LCD/Hardware for various Purposes or Projects, saving a lot of money in hardware. 

This is important for homebrewers because  RF measurement some times, is only a one time a  month (or a year!) requirement in a Radio Room!!

FC4 is a  500MHZ Frequency Counter and RF Meter designed to work as an USB device for your PC. FC4 also works with "Infinity" Graphic CPU. A PC program (WIN7) is developed by  Tony/I2TZK.
