[time-nuts] Looking for a Counter

[J. L. Trantham]

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.

Joe

I would like to get a counter that
     a) has 10 MHz clock input
     b) counts directly to 30 MHz (50 or 145 preferred)

I would like it to be maintainable and well under $100
including shipping.

I have seen Fluke 1953a counters advertised on Ebay.
Is this a good choice or would something else be better?
