[Test-Equipment] xtal tester

Keep in mind that a given crystal may oscillate at a frequency quite
different from its intended frequency when operated in a circuit with the
wrong load and drive level.

Some grid dip meters can also excite HF xtals simply by plugging it into the
coil socket (FT243 holders seem to fit perfectly).
Not sure how one would connect a counter directly, but tuning in the signal
on a receiver and zero-beating it with a counter-equipped sig gen might
work.
