In a pinch, a good freq counter could also be a portable type radio receiver with a digital ( crystal-controlled) tuning window readout. They come in handy for accurate "flyin by the seat of your pants" alignments using harmonics generated by questionable RF generators signals if needed.Rat Shack used to sell these type handheld portable radios on-sale sometimes a few yrs back. These portables also help for aligning " by ear", harmonics on the FM & SW bands as well if the radio receives all 3 bands.
