FRQM1 (Frequency Counter and RF Multimeter)
FRQM1 is a multifunction RF meter for panel mounting.
It has an attractive 4x20 large LCD display with white characters on blue backlight (see photos and video) and it can be easily fitted on the front panel of your equipment.
It counts transmitter and receiver frequency, with optional IF offset of local oscillator and PTT input, from 10Hz to 2.5GHz. It has inputs for accepting converted (thru a directional coupler, NOT INCLUDED) Forward and Reflected power, signal for Modulation or Deviation as percentage and bargraph, DC Voltage, Signal Stength (dbuV Field-Meter and bargraph), and can show ambient temperature (internal sensor), depending on the mode of operation and the user defined settings.
All inputs are adjustable.
An option to produce a keyboard adjustable output voltage (0-5V DC) for controlling an external PSU for RF power amplifiers is also available. You can also set a Reflected Power Limit to automatically shut off the controlled PSU when the limit is exceeded, for protection.
From the settings menu, one can set the startup page, the maximum displayed values for Forward and Reflected Power, IF in KHz up to ~2GHz, Frequency prescaler with user selectable divider ratios of 1 (OFF), 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512 for use with either the internal or a user-provided external prescaler. Two inputs for measuring frequency, one without on-board prescaler (for up to 18MHz TTL-level signal), and one with an on-board prescaler for 64, 128, or 256, selectable via jumper and corresponding software setting for a maximum of 2.5GHz (~0 dbm signal). [Note: With appropriate external prescaler, a maximum of 9.2GHz is possible.]
High quality PCB with double-sided plated thru hole 1.6mm FR4.
Operating voltage: 8-15VDC @80mA maximum.
Dimensions: 6.1cm (H) x 12.6cm (L) x 3.5 cm (D)
