Review on Mcbazel Surecom SF-103 Handheld 2mHz -2.8GHz Walkie Talkie RF Counter: Efficient Communication Frequency Tracking Tool by David Skyline

Revainrating 2 out of 5

High precision frequency counter with incredible battery life, very poor tone or DC decoding.

Overwhelmed by how accurate this number is to the 7th digit. Even more amazing, the tiny lithium polymer battery lasts ALL DAY without recharging. and it ran more than 3 hours early and still had more than half the battery left. It's reasonable to assume that it can last 12 to 14 hours on a single charge. It works well with the included antenna on VHF and UHF FM and picks up all frequencies perfectly. Gate speed and sensitivity gain work normally. BUT CTS decoding is useless, DCS is slightly better but it feels right in both cases. will display an odd (non-standard) cts or dcs code and you will then search your radio for the closest code. and it can be anywhere from 2 to 20. But for the price and how accurate it is when locking onto a frequency, it has helped me set up many HF 10/11 meter radios.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Was damaged
