Hi
Maintainable is a tough call on a lot of stuff. You might do better to shop
for a counter in the $30 to 50 range and plan on buying 2 or 3. There are a
lot of people selling printed manuals for the price of a counter ...
Quick check of $30 to $50 shows:
HP5314
HP5315
HP5316
HP5326
HP5383
Fluke 1952
Fluke 1953
above the $50 limit but below $100
HP5345
HP5328
HP5335
Others that *should* be below $50
HP5381
HP5382
All have their quirks and issues. I'd simply troll the auctions and plan on
placing a number of low bids. In a month or two you should be able to get
what you need cheap. I would shop price rather than a specific model, since
there are a lot of boxes that will do what you need to do.

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?
