radio frequency remote receiver signal help

Hello looking for some help if i may.
I am looking for something that will display/inform me of the frequency of a car remote when the car remote is operated.
I use 433.92mhz & 868mhz keys.
All the item needs to do is to inform me of the signal being transmitted either on a screen or even by a different coloured led etc.
Red = 433mhz & 868mhz etc etc

Basically i have some key remotes where the writing has faded and i can no longer read the frequency on the key itself.
Hency by pointing the key remote at the little device i will be told what frequency the key is.
Has anyone seen anything along there travels & can supply me with a link or is anybody willing to make me such an item.
Does not need to be fancy etc just as long as i know what the frequency is hence the coloured leds etc.

Thanks very much i am in the uk.

they are called frequency counters :)

every good radio workshop has one
as an example of different type from desktop to handheld see ....

It's not easy to use frequency counters for that application since the output is on in short burst-trains only. I'd suggest building two loosely tuned detector circuits instead.
