Dr. Kirby,
The 5242A Option 001 (high stability) used a 10544 oscillator, which. IIRC,
is electrically interchangeable with the 10811.
The 5352B Option 010 (high stability) uses the 10811 oscillator.
Cheers,
Dave M

I am looking for a microwave frequency counter and won an auction for
an 18 GHz 5342A with the GPIB option today @ £200 (GBP). I have just
paid for that.
I also have the chance to get a 5352B 40 GHz counter for £500. That
has
GPIB as standard.
In the short/medium term I don't see much use for a 40 GHz counter,
but I
am giving consideration to buying the 40 GHz and selling the 18 GHz
one.
I would be interested to know if anyone has any opinions on the
relative merrits of the two counters.
Neither of these counters have ovens, but stability is not a major
issue given they take a 10 MHz input. That said, foes anyone know if
these take fairly common 10811A ovens? There is a chance I would use
it in places
where it would not practical to feed in 10 MHz.
