If that's the same one I have (HP 5326A/B, circa 1972), it's actually a very good instrument. Mine agrees with my Fluke 6011A signal generator (with high-precision option) out to +/- 2 counts in the last digit at 1 MHz, and I haven't calibrated it in the 30 years I've owned it. 50 years old, with that kind of accuracy, is pretty incredible to me! HP built really good equipment in those days. ~~ Mark Moulding
