I'm not sure what sort of equipment it was though. I have an 18 GHz HP 5342A frequency counter, which I don't seem to see a lot, as members of my radio club borrow it. But it has no oven. There is an option for an oven, but my model does not have the optional oven fitted. I don't know if it would take a 10811A - if so I might fit one, since I have a spare of them around.

Dave When the 10811 was being designed, the prime directive was that it had to be retrofittable into any 10544 socket. (Note that the converse is not necessarily true.) Therefore you should be able to install a 10811 in an old counter, if you have the infrastructure that fitted the 10544. IIRC, the 5342 came out in the 1970's before the 10811.

Option 001 for the 5342A did use a 10544A which looks like it just plugs into the same socket as the standard oscillator. As Rick says, the 10811 will also work.

In the 5342A the 10544A was option 001. Installing it is just a matter of removing the TCXO, plugging the OCXO in and securing it with a couple of 5/16 6-32 screws in. The hardest part is probably finding the right screws. The 'infrastructure' is already there.

Hi Probably both cheaper and easier to plug it into a TBolt …. Not as portable though.
