BK Precision 4003 function generator

(1/1)

Axtman:
Has anybody had any experience with the BK Precision 4003 function generator?  I am upgrading my equipment and am interested in buying one of these.  One of the reasons for my interest is the digital display.  It also can operate as a frequency counter.  Thanks!

I would say you're better off getting an Agilent/HP 33120A off Ebay.  The BK retails for around $250 in the US, but you can a used Agilent off Ebay for around $400 in pretty good condition.  It goes up to 15 MHz, and has a boatload more features than the BK, including noise generation, and arbitrary waveform capability.

Cheers,
-Tim

Definitely. I own one, and it is a FANTATIC instrument. Much better than any Chinese POS.

I have an older BK 4040A 20Mhz function/sweep generator which has been totally solid and reliable, holds calibration very well, and is fast to use.
