Lovely display, and that looks like a 2445 oscilloscope above it, but you're not going to get me to buy a honking great frequency counter, not even if it has nixies. If I really need accuracy, I can calibrate my E4420B against 10MHz GPS, then beat it against the unknown for minimum drift on oscilloscope and read off the E4420B's frequency.

It's still smaller than an hp 5245L... :lol:
Don't be dissing the 5245L!!! :P :P :P

Buying one of them is what lead me to this test equipment collecting insanity...

I wouldn't dream of it, and for sure there are larger counters, but its size is the reason that mine is in "storage", and have a 5316B as a daily.
