Re: [time-nuts] HP 5372A vs. 5370A: Thanks
To All who have contributed, Your answers have been very informative, and I appreciate the time the people have taken to answer my initial request on the differences between the HP 5372A and 5370A T.I. Counters/Analyzers. The bottom line I get out of this thread is that both are useful to own, with one having a better raw resolution, but the other doing continuous measurements. The 5370A is probably the one to own if you can only afford one piece of HP T.I. equipment and you do GPIB interfacing.

I second that 1000% Now to figure out whats wrong in the two dead 5370Bs. Glad it is them and not the 72A !

Re: [time-nuts] HP 5372A vs. 5370A: Thanks
Hi On a variety of levels, yes, the 5370 is the box to get first (and maybe second and third). Checking power supplies and cleaning contacts goes a long way on a 5370. Who knows what to do on a 5371 or 5372. Just finding the service manuals on them is no easy task (yes, I have a copy, not looking for another).

Re: [time-nuts] HP 5372A vs. 5370A: Thanks
I ended up with the 5372A first one of those $50 and forget bids on the E. the $140 shipping is another story. BTW took the bottom of one of the 5370B and about 4 or 5 dehydrated spiders and other insect remains fell out. The smell is mouse urine but there is no evidence of mice. The dog finally gave up trying to 'kill' the 5370B. My guess is what ever was on top of it is the item you don't want to buy. -pete On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 1:44 PM, Bob Camp li...@rtty.us wrote: Hi On a variety of levels, yes, the 5370 is the box to get first (and maybe second and third).
