Fluke PM-6666 Freq Counter FA

Fluke PM-6666 Freq Counter FA

This is the 'MOTM-approved' frequency counter. Can't ask for a nicer, easy to 
use counter that can resolve 0.001Hz :)

Heck, here's one for 1/2 the price with a buy it now of $50:

RE: [motm] Fluke PM-6666 Freq Counter FA

2005-03-23 by Adam Schabtach

This is slightly OT: when looking at second-hand equipment like this, how
much does one need to be concerned about calibration? As a specific example,
how far out of calibration is a used Fluke counter likely to be, and how
much would it cost to have it calibrated?

a) $50??!?!? grumble (I paid $1100 for mine new)

b) calibration for this sort of stuff is almost NEVER an issue. DVMs are really 
the only piece of equipment that needs cal'ing, every 10years or so :)

I'm wondering Paul, what do you think of the older modular Tektronix TM500
series gear?  There are freq counters such as the DC509 available on ebay
all the time for cheap prices (but would they need calibrating??....) and of
course DVMs like the DM501A.

You're welcome. It looks pretty clean. Just don't' get mad at me if the
thing doesn't work! :-)

RE: [motm] Fluke PM-6666 Freq Counter FA

2005-03-23 by Tony Karavidas

It depends what you are doing with it, but Paul is right: it's almost never
an issue. As long as the item is not DOA, it will probably work just fine. 

I have a scope that I PRAY never breaks. The flat fee repair on the main
acquisition board is $4500!!

Well - you pointed me to it -- this means you will calibrate it and fix
it for free doesn't it?

Thanks, Paul and Tony. That's good to know. Next time I won't waffle when I
see a Fluke frequency counter going for $50. :-)
