Does a frequency counter help a cb radio that much?
For CB's that are both modern and "legal" a frequency counter does not help much at all. However if you have an older radio with continuous tuning (dial with a needle) or are tuning "out of band" (using an illegal modified CB) you may find a frequency counter very useful. No,All the frequency counter does is match the frequency to the radio, to tell you how accurate the radio is, if it is a quality radio it is a waste of time for a more efficent CB radio you would want a RF meter to match the antenna to the radio, this would give you max signal when you key the mike, most of the radios that I have ever used have a signal strength right on the radio. All radios are designed to reject all frequencies except the one it's tuned to. Transmitter accuracy and receiver accuracy are both important for clear reception. CB radio uses 26-27 Mhz with a channel spacing of only 10Khz. If your transmitter's frequency is 5Khz too high and the person you're trying to talk to has a receiver that is a few Khz too low, you may not be able to talk to them at all or the sound will be distorted. All radios can be aligned. Better quality radios will not necessarily hold that alignment better. Antenna matching will affect how strong the signal is but not the frequency accuracy of that signal. A frequency counter will tell you what frequency you are on. It does not help the average CB radio. But it does do a lot for modified cb's with extra channels. A Frequency counter also comes in handy if you are talking on side band, it helps you remember where to set the dial, and makes tuning someones signal in much easier. A Frequency counter will help if you need it. If you dont need it it is a waste of money. ~TeZ~
