The General Radio 720-A Frequency Meter was introduced in Catalog K4 (1945) and remained available through Catalog P (1959).
The Type 720-A is a heterodyne type frequency meter using a calibrated oscillator from 100 to 200 MHz. Using harmonics frequency measurement from 10 MHz to 3 GHz are possible. Using a built in antenna to couple the unknown a zero beat can be obtained and monitored. The beat note is displayed on a panel meter and heard with an internal speaker. The 720-A can be powered by Burgess 6TA60 battery or the Type 1261-A power supply. "Bias Cells" provide grid bias potentials B1 and B2. See "Bias Cell" information below.
Specifications
- Frequency Range: Fundamental frequcncy range is from 100 to 200 MHz. harmonics 10 to 3000 MHz
- Calibration: The main dial is calibrated in frequency, each division corresponding to 1 MHz
- Accuracy: The overall accuracy of measurement is 0.1 %
