[TowerTalk] Freq. Counter Recommendations

[Cliff Bond]

Greetings to all...

I am shopping for a "knock-about" frequency counter.  Requirements are: (1)
battery operated, (2) portable,  (3) coverage to at least 1.0 gHz, and (4)
affordable.

So far the MFJ-888 seems like a good choice based on the specs.  Any
comments pro and con regarding the 888 or suggestions for other units to
consider would be most-appreciated.

Thanks,

Cliff
