[time-nuts] Frequency counter recommendations

[Angus]

Hi,

Although they are rather less common and more expensive than the ones
you mentioned, Fluke/Philips 6681 counters are also very good. 

Nominal resolution is 50ps single shot and 1ps repetitive. 
No RS232, but GPIB and a rather basic analogue output are standard.
