Galaxy FC-250 Frequency Counter

 This is a Galaxy FC-250 Frequency Counter I repaired for a friend. These counters were originally targeting the CB radio community, as they matched the Galaxy brand of radios. After repairs, a quick test proved it to work well from 160 through 2 meters. I didn't test it higher, but I suspect the model number suggests 250 mHz. Anyway, I replaced a bad FET in the rf amplifier stage, and installed a new DC pigtail & fuse holder. The RF feed through ports are good for a 100w rig, and the RCA port can be connected to a source or use a small whip antenna. This is a solid little counter, and typically a great hamfest find.
