What sort of radio would one need to determine to the tenth of a kHz
what frequency a transmitter is on? I imagine one with a graphic
display... so you can pinpoint the highest point of the bell curve. Or
at least a functional S-meter like on the Kenwood R-1000?
(http://www.rigpix.com/kenwood/r1000.htm) It seems that with a standard
portable receiver (like my DE1103), it's nearly impossible to pinpoint
the frequency of most stations with any more precision than 2-3 kHz,
based only on the purity of the sound (the S meter on these is fairly
useless.)

What's the least-expensive receiver in this category? I'd love to get
deeper into monitoring of utility stations, though perhaps living in a
townhouse with nowhere to place an antenna will be a limiting factor.

I logged this about 3 weeks ago @ 08:15 UTC to about 08:30 UTC on USB.
Just a male voice transmitting a long series of phoenetics (alpha, bravo,
etc.) When signing off @ about 08:30 UTC, he said, "this concludes message
#69, end of transmission." Any ideas what this was?

EAM on 6739 (your radio is off frequency).
