Features
- Original Design by DL4YHF
- Frequency range: 1 Hz-50 MHz
- Crystal Test Range: 4 MHz-48 MHz - Replaced with pre-amp circuit
- PCB size：8*5.3cm
- Fits in 100 x 60 x 25 mm enclosure
- Source - AliExpress Frequency Counter - Very inexpensive
- PIC-freq.counter-modification
Built into case
- P-Touch white on black labels
- 100x60x25mm Black Plastic Electronic Project Box Enclosure Instrument Case - Inexpensive plastic case
- Plastic Waterproof Cover Electronic Project Instrument Enclosure DIY Box Case Junction Box Housing 100 x 60 x 25 mm Black
- 7-9V in
- Right angle header pins pointing to inside of card
- 4-40 x 3/16” Machine Screws
- 4-40 Standoffs
Rework - Add Pre-Amp
- Re-uses extra HF transistor that would have been used by crystal tester oscillator
- AC coupled input
- Based on
Pre-Amp schematic
When building kit, do not install
Cuts/Jumpers
- Four cuts
- Blue = 1 front side cut
- Green = 3 back side cuts
- Jumpers Red
- Green = Back side cuts
- Short etch on one cut
- Details of preamp input pin
- With parts
- Wire on back
Testing
- 4.9152 MHz crystal oscillator
- Scope frequency counter shows 4.19520 MHz
- Freq Counter displays 4.9747 MHz
- Difference = 500 Hz or 0.1% accuracy
- Can only adjust the variable capacitor in narrow range
- Freq = 25,000 MHz - measured = 24.997 MHz
- Error = 3 KHz / 25,000 KHz = 0.012%
- Freq = 10.000 Hz - measured = 9.999 Hz = .01% error
