Four State is very pleased to continue the availability of Dave Benson K1SWL's famous Freq-Mite frequency counter. Upon retirement, Dave graciously offered the kit to us to continue production. Along with his SW+ transceiver series, the Freq-Mite is one of his signature designs.

The Freq-Mite provides audio frequency annunciation, and is intended to be installed as a frequency counter inside a rig. Thus providing an inexpensive alternative to an LCD display for small rigs. While a builder may balk at dedicating a costly frequency counter in an inexpensive or homebrew rig, this Morse counter alternative will be the perfect addition. It is inexpensive, small, and easily installed - a panel cutout is not required. The kit is complete - excluding an enclosure which is not included due to the intended application.
