Awesome frequency counter! in my opinion - that's an example how measurement equipment need to looks like. Simple interface, high parameters, low coast!
Yes, Pendulum is the people who built counters at PEAB (Philips Elektronikindustrier AB), the T&M and military electronics branch of Philips in Järfälla, Sweden. The milspec stuff is SAAB now, and Pendulum is the T&M part.
What a find, Tony! Very nice condition too. The power supply layout makes sense as it can operate from mains or a fairly wide range of DC voltage input. Now you need some microwave gear to test it 😂. Regards, David
Thank you David, yes i need more gear! ... those generators are expensive above 8 GHz... even the AliExpress ones... maybe some time. not in a rush.. there is always an excuse for more gear, i have now an extra one :)
Christmas in June! A freq counter that works up to 26 Gig and down to 10 Hz is an exceptionally handy freq counter with a lot of engineering put into it. It's clearly not junk. And a power meter, too? Even if it's just to let you know if you have a strong enough signal to read properly, that's a great feature. BTW, you might want to split your camera output and feed it to a monitor so you can see in real-time what your video looks like.
Yes amazing machine, thank you John!. btw, i still film with my iPhone, no fancy camera setup, so i can see the screen defending i use the front or back camera.
Hi Tony .. do you have service manual for this xl3200 series ? I saw a broken unit online in my country... just wondering if there is a service manual for this before I buy.. thanks Tony.
HI, just checked my files, i only have user manual and a spec sheet for 3200 If you find a User manual and or Service manual for 3030 that would be great, i have a broken unit from that series.
Hey Tony! Holy smokes! Dat is een geweldige vangst zeg! Prachtige techniek, zo clean als wat en ook nog zo nauwkeurig. Mooi apparaat hoor. Eerste calibratie 31-10-91 door fabrikant en tweede calibratie 17-06-23 door Tony Albus (of eerder natuurlijk 😉)
Interessant toestel zeker ook met de DB meting, ben benieuwd waar de meeste afwijking zit, ik vermoed eerder bij onze Chinese vriend :-) Die trimsleutels zijn niet best kwam ik achter, ze worden verkocht als keramische maar dat zijn ze niet, hier liggen ze al in de kliko 🙂 Ik heb vroeger bijna de hele serie van Lodestar gekocht, die zijn wel keramisch en echt keihard. Die zijn uit de handel volgens mij, maar wat er erg op lijkt, alleen zijn ze nu blauw ipv zwart, is Proskit Precision krijg je geen spijt van.
