## Overview

The SF401 Plus is a portable frequency counter meter designed for professionals needing fast, accurate frequency measurements from 27MHz to 3000MHz. Featuring a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) for ±2~4ppm accuracy, a built-in CTCSS/DCS decoder, and a vibrant color LCD, it offers quick 0.2-second readings. Lightweight and rechargeable via USB, it’s engineered for field use with easy 4-button controls and auto power-off to maximize battery life.

Review: Works with digital & analog - My unit works and properly reports the TX frequency and CTCSS tone, if sending, as indicated in the manual. Attenuation was off and you really need to get the supplied antenna next to the TX antenna to get a reading. Please review my notes below carefully. DMR was the only mode to provide a frequency reading when the meter was set to digital. P25 and C4FM (Yaesu Fusion) could be identified only when set to analog. I tested the following all with correct frequency results: - 10 meter band using analog FM - 6 meter band using analog FM - 2 meter band using analog FM/P25/C4FM - 70 cm band using analog FM/P25/C4FM - 33 cm band using analog FM - 70 cm band using digital DMR I am pleased with the function of this meter and that it charges via USB as well. Still, if your unit appears to not be working after it powers up, you probably do not have the antenna literally next to or touching the TX antenna. I also tested by adjusting the "RF detect level" in the settings and moving it from 5 to 40. It did not appear to make a difference on the close proximity needed of the TX antenna to the meter antenna.
Review: Works well, just not easy to use. - This is a cheap frequency counter and it works well for what it is, just don't expect it to rival a $500 machine. It picks up everything, I tried it with my FRS radio to map it to use paired with a GMRS radio. It worked great, then I tried on a second radio and it was all over the place. That was until I realized my phone was next to it. Moved my phone away and it was back to working great. You have to be careful and aware of what it around it. Also for picking up tones, you have to hold the TX button for a moment to get the tones. It picks up frequency really quick, tones take another few seconds to read.

## Features

- The frequency meter capable of measuring the parameters of the frequency of the continuous carrier signal walkie-talkies , with signal strength indicator.
- This portable frequency counter is designed for counting continuous wave signal comes from Two-way Radio.
- There are easy ranges for you to choose. The ranges cover most of the frequency of the two way radios you want to measure.
- Its four-button control is easy to use and its small size allows you to carry it anywhere you like.
- Work by TCXO(Temperature Compensate X'tal (crystal) Oscillator) ,In the range of -45 C ~ 65 C can reach ± 2 ~ ± 4ppm accuracy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How far away can the freq source be?**
A: It's dependent on source output power.  I mainly use it for verifying ENG wireless microphones during press check-ins.  Don't typically get a reading until under 20" away from the TX source.

**Q: Does it come with both the vhf and uhf antena?**
A: This unit comes with (1)one 5" universal antenna that seems to cover the vhf/uhf frequencies very well, it even works well down to 72 MHz (model aircraft radio) not so much at 2.4gHz range.

**Q: Could I use this to find out Hz vibration plate vibrating at?**
A: This item only picks up RF frequencies. Vibration plate is an audio wave form I believe? You would need a sound wave sensor to see the frequency such as a Accelerometer. This is a sensor that measures the dynamic acceleration analyzer of a physical device as a voltage & frequency.

**Q: Will this count cell phone frequencies (i.e. 4G)?**
A: No it does not
