What resolution do you want? The HP 5315A/B or 5316A/B offer 100 MHz, various time base options, the possibility of battery operation (5315A), HPIB, external time base input (5315B and 5316A/B) and 8 digit resolution. They also offer an Option C, to 1 GHz. Directly, they frequently go to 150 MHz if the drive level is high enough.
I prefer the 5334B. It is 9 digit resolution, 100 MHz, offers the option of a 10811 time base as well as HPIB and external time base input/output and also will go to around 150 MHz if the drive level is high enough. Also, there is an option C that will go to 1.3 GHz (I think). While not often seen for under $100, they can be. Good luck.

I have seen Fluke 1953a counters advertised on Ebay. Is this a good choice or would something else be better? -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R [email protected] www.omen.com Developer of Industrial ZMODEM(Tm) for Embedded Applications Omen Technology Inc "The High Reliability Software" 10255 NW Old Cornelius Pass Portland OR 97231 503-614-0430 _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
