Fair Radio's price for the HP5328A is a bit excessive, especially since they
say REPAIRABLE (meaning that something doesn't work, but, supposedly, can be
fixed).
They have both the 10811 and 10544A for sale separately from the counters.
The 10811 is $89.00 each and the 10544A is $69.00 each. Fair gurantees that
they have output.
