[sdiy] Frequency counter

[Mikael Mørup]

Hello group.

After having spent a few days with my new (old) scope, i
realize that i have caught the gear plauge. Now i need
(well at least want) a frequency counter. What's the
genereal concensus (asuming one exists) on frequency
counters ?

Are the ones that are build into the better digital handheld
Volt/Amp/Ohm meters good enough for synth DIY work ?  Do
they have the required precision ? do they cover the low
LFO range ?

Does anybody know of a (free / shareware / cheap) software
frequency counter that would be adequate for SDIY work ?

Or are a dedicated counter the only way to go ?

Thanks
Mikael
