Glad you got it now. I posted the chart so you and others reading can learn for themselves how to read a frequency counter.

The chart isn't really a frequency readout, but rather the standard decimal system but it is relevant to frequencies, just replace the 2 commas with decimal points.

looking at the chart again,

the 1 is the Mhz (millions)
the 342 is the KHz (thousands)
the 365 is Hz (hundreds)

So if this example was your receivers radio frequency displayed after being clarified to match another radios transmission, it would be off 365 Hz if the other radio shown an reasonably accurate transmit frequency of 1.342.000 MHz.

Below the 3rd decimal (1427) gets into fractions of a Hz and too minuscule to be concerned about. Most HF radios have 7 digit counters for the HF band and some give the option to add the 8th digit since after the 8th digit isn't really necessary for tuning. For VHF and UHF and beyond, the counters can have up to 10 digits to the left of the scale to cover the GHz which is in the billions.

I believe you have it now!

class adjourned.
