Manual Overview
The Bk Precision manual for the Model 103 frequency counter provides detailed instructions for troubleshooting, calibration, and adjustments. The manual emphasizes the importance of using the correct range switch settings for accurate frequency measurements, with specific positions for frequencies between 1 MHz and 300 MHz, and 10 MHz to 3 GHz. Calibration involves accessing a trimmer capacitor on the front panel to adjust the time base oscillator, ensuring accuracy by using a known frequency signal. The manual advises on the use of the hold button to lock the display and the gate button to select measurement time, which affects accuracy. Error diagnostics are not explicitly detailed, but the manual includes tips for maintaining battery health and avoiding damage from strong signals. The RF signal strength is displayed using a 16-section bargraph, and input sensitivity varies across frequencies, with a maximum input of 15 dBm. The manual also provides guidance on antenna selection and the impact of reception distance on signal detection.
Quick Issues Covered
- Model 103: Calibration adjustment for time base oscillator accuracy.
- Model 104: Auto hold feature for capturing first frequency or period.
- Model 103: Schematics aid in circuit tracing and diagnostics.

Controls & Indicators
Model 103 Controls:
1. Power Switch – Turns the counter on and initiates a 2-second test of all the LCD segments.
2. Range Switch – Switch to the 300 MHz position for frequencies between 1 MHz and 300 MHz and to the 3 GHz position for frequencies between 10 MHz and 3 GHz.
3. Hold Button – Holds the current display and stops the counter from counting.
4. Gate Button – Selects the gate or measurement time. A longer gate time allows counting for a longer period and results in higher accuracy.
5. Calibration – The calibration adjustment opening is located on the front panel, allowing access to the trimmer capacitor for time base oscillator adjustment.
Model 104 Controls:
1. Power Switch – Turns the counter on and initiates a 2-second test of all the LCD segments.
2. Amp Switch – Selects either the 1 Meg Ohm high impedance amplifier or 50 Ohm amplifier and prescale.
3. Range Switch – Switch to the 300 MHz position for frequencies between 1 MHz and 300 MHz and to the 3 GHz position for frequencies between 10 MHz and 3 GHz.
4. Lite Switch – Turns the LCD backlight on and off.
5. Filter Switch – Turns the filter on and off.
6. Function Button – Selects the frequency or period with four settings, including automatic hold.
7. Hold Button – Holds the current display and stops the counter from counting.
8. Gate Button – Selects the gate or measurement time. A longer gate time allows counting for a longer period and results in higher accuracy.
9. Calibration – The calibration adjustment opening is located on the front panel, allowing access to the trimmer capacitor for time base oscillator adjustment.
