OP should just buy the parts on eBay. |

Thanks very much for the replies, as a result of your advice I have now ordered all the components. From four Australian stores and eBay (naturally). I had to resort to eBay for the older components (MC12095, MC10E016 and NX2301P). It has proven quite a task and taken me over 6 hours in total to order the parts for the frequency counter and the allied "deluxe" GPS 1pps timebase. Now looking forward to receiving all the bits and the assembly. Dave made comment recently on the Amp Hour on how the internet has transformed the gathering of data, essentially doing away with the paper based data sheets and in education. I absolutely agree, I have learnt so much over the past couple of months using YouTube and various blogs etc. It is actually entertaining watching Dave, Ian Johnstone, Gerry Sweeney and "Mike" to name a few. Thanks again for the advice and I shall post something after I complete the Frequency generator on the experience. |

hi all ... the other part of Yorkie's original question was about the performance of this unit ... does anybody have any experience with this? And/or are there any other (more recent) frequency meters designs available? I'm not so much after a high frequency range (2.5 GHz or similar is fine) but more after accuracy and resolution ... 12 digits is plenty. |

In Australia pretty much the only place left to find old magazine project parts is Rockby. https://www.rockby.com.au/SearchresSql_12.cfm?Searchkey=10116 https://www.rockby.com.au/SearchresSql_12.cfm?Searchkey=hc160 I didn't find the 12095 But if Jaycar and/or Altronics ever offered a kit you could always ask if they have residual parts still laying around somewhere. And don't dismiss asking Silicon Chip. And it wouldn't hurt to shoot Rockby an email because they have acquired a lot of parts from other shops as they closed down and may not have bothered to catalogue it all. |
