On what jbooker said.

I have the rat shack analog meter, runs on a 9v battery and is fun to use.

you will notice a difference once you dial everything in.

Have fun with it!

+2 for the old style analog radio shack spl meter.

The older style has a little increased response in the 2KHz to 10KHz range and rolls off fairly
steeply in the last octave (10K-20K).
The newer style analog meter has a bit more peak in 3K-8K and even more roll off above 10K
than the older ones.
The new digital style has a big peak in response from 4K to 10K, but is more accurate from 10K-20K,
and also has a lot more roll off in bass frequencies in the bottom two octaves than the analog ones.

Here's a link to a review of the older and newer analog meters and the newer digital one.
It will give you a good idea of the accuracy of the meters relative to frequency in particular.
