Hi Mike,

I bought my MCount from Chuck as soon as Tom mentioned it on this list as I 
have been looking for an accessible frequency counter for some time.  The 
unit looked great and works as advertised.
I'm still looking for an MFJ209 antenna analyzer, but I haven't found a used 
reasonably priced one yet.  I almost got one on EBay, but the price went too 
high for a used one.

Subject: the Mcount Is


Assembled and tested 500 MHz frequency counter with CW readout.  Based on
the Mcount kits by Jackson Harbor.  Good accuracy through 70 cm.

Especially useful for the visually impaired and others who would rather not
tackle SMT assembly.

Mike's comments:

Physically, it's about the size of a new bar of soap.

You need a few feet of wire for the antenna unless you have a bunch of rf in
the shack.
