Hi, I also use a HP 53131A counter and find it to me the nicest, most stable counter that I have used to date. It is amazing how versatile this counter is and how stable when using an gps external reference. Other counters I have or have had are the HP 5370B, 5334, 5335, and various 5328's.
I would like to try a SR620 but after reading the various post last month on the inability to display an 10 MHz reading when using a 10MHz reference I am a little leery of trying one.
