Fc3 is designed and developed for Radio Amateurs looking for economical frequency counter for their hobby work and wish to measure RF signal Level at the same time.

Analog Device's AD8307 is used to measure RF level very accurately in dBm, Vpp, Vpeak or Vrms.

Counter works with PC or as a stand-alone. PC Connection is auto detected and so is stand-alone mode.

Front panel push buttons are provided for RF Meter Mode and HF to VHF Frequency measurement modes.

A PC program Windows based specially designed for FC3 by Tony/I2TZK is provided for configuration of IF Off-sets and AD8307 related parameter configuration thru USB interface.

Program reflects also the LCD panel frequency readout and the two pushbutton.

Complete KIT uses AD8307, ADA4789 and MC12080 in SMT package and are supplied pre-soldered on PCB for those who do not like to solder these tiny devices.

Assembled FC3 may also be available, refer to FoxDelta web site for any detail about FC3 kit.
