Overview

The Frequency Meter Set SCR-211-(&) is a precision instrument designed to measure or radiate radio frequency impulses between 125 and 20,000 kHz. It is portable, completely self contained instrument used mainly to calibrate field radio receivers and transmitters by direct comparison with the calibrated variable frequency oscillator of the frequency meter. Each meter contains a 1,000 kc crystal oscillator circuit with is used both as a source of accurate radio frequency signals at multiples of 1,000 kHz and for calibrating the variable frequency oscillator of the instrument at a number of points. These points of frequency calibration are called "Crystal Check Points".
