As I’ll be retiring in a couple years, and as I’ve acquired far more equipment than I needed in the first place, I’m offering one of my Potomac FIM-71 field intensity meters for sale.

This covers 45-225 MHz which of course covers the entire FM broadcast band and beyond.  These are excellent for doing measurements to determine legality of FM Part…[Read more]
