Re: How to calibrate a frequency counter (on the cheap)

Re: 7B92 No Auto trigger

Re: How to calibrate a frequency counter (on the cheap)
There's a HK based ebay seller who does a Micro Crystal OXCO in a 14 DIP package, see item #310380778466 - just over $25. I put one of these in a 1991 that had a faulty TCXO and it seems pretty good.
