The HP 5385A is a nice counter. It is essentially an updated version of the 5305B and is just a bit more sensitive at 15mV RMS vs 20mV. I have been using a 5305B, which was made in the mid '70's, for at least 15 years and it's still going strong. If it ever dies, I will probably get a 5385A.

I also have a cheap GPSDO for checking the counter.
