Another opionion ... remember that there are *hundreds* of radio signals
out there at any one time! AM/FM broadcast stations, TV stations,
shortwave radios stations .. and the list goes on .. a frequency counter
has to "find" a signal that is significantly stronger than all those
'random' frequencies so that it can lock on and give you a readout.

If you are tryng to find a feq of a radio that is low powered to begin
with, then you'll need to get really close for that to happen.
