Electrical length is widely used with a graphical aid called the Smith chart to solve transmission line calculations. A Smith chart has a scale around the circumference of the circular chart graduated in wavelengths and degrees, which represents the electrical length of the transmission line from the point of measurement to the source or load.
Many amateurs attribute this to the abundance of commercial radio equipment designed for 136–174 MHz and 450–512 MHz that amateurs could easily modify for use on the 2-meter and 70-centimeter bands. There were no commercial frequency allocations near the 1.25-meter band, and little commercial radio equipment was available.

Wavenumber has dimensions of reciprocal length, so its SI unit is the reciprocal of meters (m −1). In spectroscopy it is usual to give wavenumbers in cgs unit (i.e., reciprocal centimeters; cm −1 ); in this context, the wavenumber was formerly called the kayser , after Heinrich Kayser (some older scientific papers used this unit ...
The frequency range of the tuner is usually within the terrestrial broadcasting bands. Some FS meters can also receive satellite (TVRO and RRO) frequencies. Most modern FS meters have AF and VF circuits and can be used as standard receivers. Some FS meters are also equipped with printers to record received field strength.
One of the most basic forms of frequency meter is the vibrating reed meter or tuned reed meter. This consists of an electromagnet coil carrying the signal positioned near the end of a tuned metal reed or tuning fork-type arrangement. As the signal travels through the coil it creates a magnetic field with the sample frequency, which pushes and ...
