Dip meter oscillation energy is absorbed where its frequency coincides with resonant circuit frequency under measurement. {A} I N D U C T I V E COUPLING Meter pointer deflection Oscillation frequency Oscillation frequency differs from resonant coincides w i t h reso- circuit frequency.
F E A T U R E S 1. Measurable frequency range is 700kHz to 250MHz in seven bands. 2. All seven dip meter coils, capacitive probe, earphone and ground clip lead, can be carried within the unit for easy trans- port and storage.

D. Use as Crystal Checker and Marker Generator Your DM-801 can be modified as a crystal checker by installing a crystal in place of the oscillation coil (see Figure 7). You may use either HC-25U or FT-243 crystals. Also, an HC-6U crystal can be checked if plugged into the FT-243 socket.
