Watson FC-130

I think the Watscon FC-130 is manufactured in
Taiwan by Aceco.

I tested 2 different Aceco-made counters in
Monitoring Times magazine:
an MFJ-886 and Aceco FC-2002. Both counters
were able to display a 49 MHz cordless phone frequency
only when they were within a couple of inches of
the phone's antenna.

They were able to display a 5 watt 146 MHz walkie-talkie
signal a 261 and 185 feet away, respectively.

Ranges were 145 and 161 feet at 446 MHz.

The length of the counter's telescoping antenna affected
the range.
