I prefer to lug around my trusty old 5335A for the general bench work. Actually, I noticed the darn (5335a's) have been breeding in the store room, there is 7 of them there now! I wouldn't guarantee the Cal or if they work even though!
Funnily enough, I have just kicked a 5334B out of the workshop today. Not because I seem to be accumulating counters like I am a frequency counter magnet or something but because I absolutely hate using it. It is like the early HP scope interfaces, ya just hate using the darn thing. The 5316A has a straightforward, easy to use interface. >From memory there is even GPIB and OCXO reference options so you could do >worse than that. Yeah cash, it's becoming a problem for us all here too I am afraid. You need to let us into the picture on what you will be using your counter for? If Cash is tight best to make it right choice first time, unless you get sold a lemon! Most of us can fix HP counters in our sleep by now, so plenty here can help you out. If you are thinking of getting into time nuttery and don't have a few spare bullion bars, give up now while you are still ahead ;) --marki -----Original Message----- From: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com [mailto:time-nuts-boun...@febo.com] On Behalf Of Collins, Graham Sent: Friday, 6 September 2013 10:10 PM To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement Subject: Re: [time-nuts] Raw GPS signal samples I stumbled across a web site which provides details on the use of GPS for ionospeheric research. http://chain.physics.unb.ca/chain/ under data products there is a link to raw GPS data which may or may not be suitable. You need to register in order to have access however. There are some details on the web site on their GPS's and what data they collect. All rather interesting.

(For those who want to build the current board, that's fine, but there are a few missing loop-filter components that need to be added by hand. That fix will be included in the next version of course.)
