Can I pay someone $500 to measure frequencies

[pcprogrammer]

If it is small enough it might get stuck in the appendix, and never come out through the poop tube.

For battery operated devices you are quite right that it will run out very quickly, unless he swallowed a device with one of those new nuclear diamond batteries. They can last for ever

What reason does he have to think he swallowed this device? Was it deliberate, say as part of an experiment, or was it slipped into his food?

What sort of device was it? How big was it?

Why does he think it's still in him?

If he didn't swallow it, it must be some sort of implant. How did it come to be implanted?

What's the story with the friend who can read the frequency on a computer. How does this work? He can obviously pick it up, so why can't he locate the source?

This is either a spoof or someone undergoing an irrational excursion.

You think?

How does one digest something? Probably by swallowing it, and then one could think of something being hidden in food.

We used to do something like that when our cat needed medicine

[xrunner]

I'll do it for $349.99 

bd139 is not your choice - he's too honest.

I will let you fill out a questionnaire such as what frequencies you expecting to find. We endeavor to fulfill your requests in our lab. Our aim here is 100% customer satisfaction!

No need to swallow something to digest it on the astral plane this is happening on.

Lab time per hour may exceed your budget.

Doh, why did you have to lock the OP's other thread, I had valuable advice for him.

Look at bd's avatar! He has said he will change it, but I think concealing honesty would be a shame

To OP.  Also, did you have your/a mobile phone with you, when you had these experiences?

If so, did your friend ever have access, at some point to that mobile phone?

Because (as a prank/joke/fun/etc), they could have theoretically installed a tracking app (or similar), which 'sends' your location to their mobile phone.  There are also relatively small tracking devices, for checking the location of potentially lost luggage and things.  Which they could have hidden, in some of your belongings, that you usually have with you.
Such as airtags  https://www.apple.com/uk/airtag/

N.B.  These are NOT swallowed at all.

Who said anything about location tracking? I think you are over-interpreting the OP's posts. "I have wireless chip inside me that broadcasts signal to my friend who can read the frequency on computer." is what they wrote.

The OP is apparently being very limited, as to the wider picture as to what is going on.  So I may indeed have filled in the missing details, with speculation.

I'm also, probably taking too much notice of other replies in this thread.

The supplied story, does not seem to add up technically speaking.  They would seem to be mistaken, in a number of areas.

I'm initially giving them the benefit of the doubt, as to what is really going on.

The only thing I was concealing is that mine was an estimate and as a software guy you'll get 90% of the job done for the price and have to pay the same again to get the other 90% of the project delivered

Guess we have to wait and see if the original poster comes back with additional information. That is if we did not scare him off.

And if he is genuine, like Nominal Animal somewhat hopes, the trend of posts might become better, but I think the best advise has already been given in the first couple of posts. "Seek professional medical help"

[MK14]

"Seek professional medical help"

I agree,  bdidds0831/OP, should "Seek professional medical help".

This sounds like an important issue if you are willing to travel, so don't be a cheapskate.
I will do it for $850

BTW, the answer is 7.83Hz. PM me for the address to mail your cheque.

[Nominal Animal]

BTW, the answer is 7.83Hz.

Schumann resonance aside, there are several wave patterns in the 1 Hz to 15 Hz range detectable in all living human brains, caused by the neuronal activity in the brain.
Interestingly, changes in theta wave patterns in particular (those in the 4 - 7 Hz range) are associated with several developmental and psychiatric disorders.

You have a point there. The OP might not have much technical knowledge, a prankster friend might have fed them a story about being able to "read" or even locate that signal, and they related that poorly in their posts. Can't exclude that possibility.

What had me assume that they have some technical background, and that this really was only about detecting an emitted frequency, was their mention of a "handheld analyzer to measure frequencies" in the other post. But that could also mean either (a) they are telling us a troll story, or (b) they are non-technical, seriously concerned, and have been down this rabbit hole deep enough to actually buy some equipment.

Let's wait whether the OP comes back with more details, so we can figure out which scenario we are deailing with.

Of course; silly of me to forget that. Honour restored.

[Terry Bites]

Was this implanted by aliens?
Have you considered psychic surgery?
Do you really have a friend?
I'd wait a few days and keep checking the toilet before you flush.

Maybe he was just referring to his smart phone with a wifi analyzer app installed

You mean to say 90% of the remaining 10% of the project and so on, meaning he's going to pay you for ever to get the job done

I know how the software boys people work. Used to be one

There you go (scroll to 4:00 to "frequency measurement" magic):

So have I, although it's been a year since the injection and I think the battery has run out, as I decided not to get the booster.

meh, i'm not worried about that bill gates tracking device. the firmware crashed long before the battery ran out.

beware of comic radiation !

buy the $50 spectrum analyzer on aliexpress and save yourself $450 (e.g. for a session at psychotherapist)
