This instrument is a Triplett Model 3256 frequency meter. Its purpose was to detect a desired signal which was being generated by an amateur radio (Ham band) transmitter, and roughly identify the frequency and band on which the transmitter was operating. It contains a germanium diode signal rectifier/detector, a tuned circuit and a meter. The signal could also be listened to by connecting a headphone to the “phones” jack, in which case it will serve as a signal monitor and receiver. The frequency range of the instrument is 3.4 Mhz-30 Mhz in two switchable band increments. Date of manufacture is circa 1952. .
