A wave meter is not the same as a grid dip meter, a wave meter is a 
calibrated variable tank circuit with a detector across the tank circuit 
and requires the circuit you are measuring to be active, by contrast a grid 
dip meter is an active device that allows you to measure and tune resonant 
circuits that are not active or powered ie you can measure the resonant 
frequency of an isolated Tesla coil secondary.
