I have an a-c powered B&W GDO.  Wouldn't trade it for anything.  But frequency
resolution on the circular dial is poor.  Once I found a dip on the B&W and
would loosely couple it with my MFJ-259 (which is a very poor GDO) to read the
frequency from the LCD display.  Seemed to work fine and consistently.
