I recently had the need to check a transceiver to ensure that it was on-frequency.  This is easiest done with a frequency counter, which is included in an MFJ Antenna Analyzer.  I use an inductive coupler made from some coil wire around a small (1/2 inch) piece of CPVC, with the coil connected to a BNC connector.
