Can I pay someone $500 to measure frequencies

The OP is only 2 messages in this forum and both on the same subject in two different threads. Not even bothered to reply here. If that is not a troll alert, what is?

Well, if he is genuine, I could understand if he is put off by this not-so-empathetic discussion, and does not feel like following up.

In the unlikely case this was posted by someone who genuinely believes they have a transmitter chip inside of them, I hope they find the help they need, whether it's a good psychologist, or a good surgeon who also knows how to run a spectrum analyzer.

Friend of mine's kid accidently swallowed a $2 coin and they could track it with a metal detector. But it never came out...

On the other hand, this is a quite funny topic nonetheless 

Probably a troll, in which case he's had his money's worth.

Could be a sensitive soul genuinely seeking help, and has been mocked mercilessly.

In either case you can see why he wouldn't be back.

It is funny.

Well then his kid still has money in the bank (Sorry could not resist)

Lets hope that if he is genuine, he is now visiting a proper doctor to help with his problem.

And so did we

In the week before I was due to have an MRI, I swallowed a gold crown (tooth, not coin!). I was not amused about the possibility that stron magnetic fields might cause it to heat up or make a new exit hole.

While panning for gold, I found it.

I don't care if that is "too much information"

When my dad was kid in the 1920s there was a girl in the street who swallowed a shilling. That was a lot of money at the time, so to the amusement of everyone, they went through the unpleasant business of recovering it.

For the rest of her life she was known as Sally Shitshilling.

I might just throw one little note in to this conversation, many people who feel they are sensitive to radio emissions are totally fine if you black out the LEDs which blink in the wi-fi router they are so scared of. So long as they can't see there is an operating radio device near them all their "symptoms" suddenly disappear, conclude from that what you will.

On a serious note: If you really need to measure a frequency, many voltmeters have a frequency counter mode built in, such meters are perhaps £30. This is for fairly low frequencies usually. And a Pi Pico £4 microcontroller can be programmed with an online project, searchable somewhere, to be a really cheap oscilloscope to look for higher frequencies and show FFT data. There is also a thing called an RTL-SDR for radio frequencies, about £20 for a "brand named" one where the manufacturer has verified it will work with GNUradio.
