Ralph -

What are your coil parameters? What test data do you from your tests? Thank
you in advance.

Gary and John C.,

The B-K 1823 counter will read a continuous sine wave or square wave. It
will
not read a sine wave of variable burst rate. At least not for me it won't. I
take this as a good indicator that it will not read the non-CW output of a
disruptive coil. As I do not want to risk the sacrifice of my freq counter,
I
did not carry the experiment any further.

Any more info on the subject will be much appreciated.
Learning in progress but much too slowly.

Happy day,
Ralph Zekelman

<< Gary and John C.,

 That is my basic question as to the use of a counter  to read the operating
frequency.
 I'll try it tomorrow (carefully) and post my results.

 Cheers,
