Anyone ever seen this? It's a cute little frequency counter that
is supposed to go to 1.3 GHz, but only the 10 MHz and 60 MHz ranges
work. The 1.3 GHz range is either non-responsive or erratic.

There's a house numbered chip, which may be the prescaler: 2-8758-229
with 274-227 below that.

Any info appreciated.

Thanks!

I assume you've tried Ramsey?

Is this the same company that makes all the kits?

I think so, but there is nothing about this model on their Web site.
I assume it's many years old, forgot to check the date codes.

I'll have to dig deeper, perhaps risk contacting them? What a concept?!

I really got it because it's small and I only need the 10 MHz range. But
this is a matter of principle!

Thanks.

I took high school electronics shop with a John Ramsey,Kenmore,NY.
He was making FM wireless mikes at the time.

I have the CT-90, which only goes to 600 Mhz. Uses a different
pre-scaler (11C90.) The schematic probably wouldn't do you much good.
Couldn't find anything about the series on the Ramsey site. You could
always contact them to see if they have something in the archives.

Could always give them a call, much harder to ignore, pain in the butt
though, I hate calling places
