I'm in search of a very simple line frequency meter.

I haven't been able to find one at any local electrician supply shops, and the people working there have no idea what I'm talking about.

The only ones I can find through google or electricians supply sites are the high dollar bench top models. I'm also not interested in buying another digital multimeter just for the frequency meter setting that comes with some of the more feature packed models.

I'm looking for basically a small plastic box with a 3 or 4 digit LED readout and a three prong USA style wall outlet plug. I would be using it to check VAC frequency on large generators used for set lighting.

I know they exist. I've seen two of them but I never got a chance to ask their owners where they found them.

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Thank you!

I'd been searching for "meters" instead of "monitors"
