I've got one of those Radio Shack freq counters and I have to tell you, I've 
never had much luck using it find unknown frequencies. I don't know whether 
it just lacks the needed sensitivity, or if I'm not being a very good 
"snoop." Granted, I do like the counter. It works very well and a test 
counter and it's relatively cheap. But I think if you're wanting one for 
"snooping," you'd probably be better off spending a little more money and 
getting one of the units from Optoelectronics.
