For radios with LCD display, it’s easy to check the frequency and CTCSS in working. But for a radio with no LCD display, sometimes you need know frequency and CTCSS, in order to make communication with other radios in time. A frequency decoder helps here. This Meter using dot-matrix LCD display is designed to detect frequency, CTCSS and DCS of radio device.

Rf Frequency Counter

Retevis R-511 is a hot selling frequency decoder. It’s small in size, convenient to carry. Net Weight: 6.21oz(176g)

Small Frequency Counter

5.Radio lean to R-511 antenna, the best distance between the detected device and this Meter is 2-20cm
6.Press PTT key on the radio, you will see frequency on the 1st line, CTCSS on the 2nd line.
If there’s no CTCSS on the radio, 2nd line will show NON CTCSS

7.When you want to detect other radio or other frequency at this time, then we need reset R-511
Just “short press” pow on key to initialize the device is ok

Notes:Its LED will light up until only the CTCSS is measured; if there is no CTCSS, the red light will not light up.

Done! The frequency and CTCSS will keep showing 30seconds, before device auto power off. Do you know how to operate it now?
