Which frequency counter do you use? Mine died....

Hi everyone,
Well, as sad is it is to say my HP 5370B quit working. It was an amazing freq counter and I had it aligned locally so I was in great shape here. Unfortunately, I am getting a PLL error and well, that's it. Now I need a replacement counter.

One thing that I loved about this counter is that it could display 10 digits of resolution and the refresh rate was instantaneous.

Which frequency counter are you using?

Not going to help much as it is an older piece.....
A Beckman FC130 - 1.3 GHz

I use an old Philips PM-6661 quite often. I also have two AN/USM-326A’s (Ballantine 9648M) but they are huuuuge!

Considering what you had, you should like one of these; HP5328A. I bought mine almost 10 years ago. I made up a couple of video's back then as well;

I use hp as well. Cant beat them for the price. Sent mine in for calibration and certificate. Expensive but worth it.

There are 2 of them on E-Bay that I am looking at now. One is a Keysight HP53131A and the other is HP 5342A
