Sturdy Frequency Counter Recommendation
"Leonard Martin" wrote in message
... Hello! I've been reading the mail with pleasure. But I'm sad that it seems like electronics has progressed so much that it's hard to have fun with if you're only half-smart, like me. My solution is to work on old tube radios. For this I need a frequency counter that goes to maybe 500 MHZ (I might want to use my ham ticket on VHF someday). I'd like it to be fairly cheap (no more than $300) and above all reliable and sturdily built. I'd like it to be new. I want this thing to last! I've completely lost track of who makes such things and which makers are good. Would anyone care to recommend a company or model or both? Even the simplest knowledge would be more than I have now. Thanks in advance Leonard I recommend that you go for one of the HP 5328A counters that are on Ebay quite frequently. They are workhorses, very well built, and the military models with a 500MHz C channel and hi-stability time base are exceptional values. You should be able to find one of those counters for $75 - $150 easily, and a copy of the manual for $10 (on CD). You'll never be sorry with one of those units. -- Dave M MasonDG44 at comcast dot net (Just substitute the appropriate characters in the address) Never take a laxative and a sleeping pill at the same time!! |
