Not quite, the 410C has 15mV scale, same probe diode as 410B. Henry ---In hp_agilent_equipment@..., <david_wise@...> wrote : Apples and Oranges.? The Boonton 92 is a specialized RF Millivoltmeter.?

? I think you are right. From the spec, the Boonton 92 seems has better sensitivity than HP410C, I don't have neither Boonton 92 nor HP410C so I can't comment on which one is actually better. Instead I have a Boonton 91 and a HP410B, they use different diode probes, Boonton has solid state, HP has tube, both 91 and 410B are quite stable and has good consistence, their frequency range is about the same, up to 1GHz, my Boonton 91 is off a lot at the 1mV range, it could be caused by some leaking caps. The HP410B's lowest range is 1V, not quite as sensitive as the Boonton. ? Henry
The Boonton 93 is a True RMS Voltmeter, usable to 20 MHz. Maybe he meant the model 92?
