> http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7500187327 This is the 'MOTM-approved' frequency counter. Can't ask for a nicer, easy to use counter that can resolve 0.001Hz :) Paul S.

Heck, here's one for 1/2 the price with a buy it now of $50: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem <http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=162&item=5175759790> &category=162&item=5175759790

Gone! Thanks for the tip Tony -- been looking for a better counter (currently using a Leader LDC-822) Dave

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? --Adam (kicking himself for waffling instead of jumping on the $50 Buy It Now price)

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 :) Paul S.

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! :-) _____

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? (ducking thrown Simpson 260) Dave

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. :-) --Adam
