John,

You do not need a frequency counter to calibrate the K3S, use Method 2 with WWV, it is just as accurate. Actually it is likely more accurate than you would get with a <$100 frequency counter, unless you calibrate the frequency counter beforehand. I suspect any frequency counter costing less than $100 is either inaccurate or limited to audio frequencies.

Amazon has several for <$100.  Has anyone had any experience with these?
Are they just a waste of money?

Thanks,
