[time-nuts] Prescalers ?

[Mark Spencer]

Hi:

I'm pondering ways I can use my  collection of time interval counters (most of which also have frequency counter modes) to measure the frequency of signals at frequencies up to 1.3 GHz.   None these units will deal with frequencies higher than 512 MHz.

Does anyone have any suggestions for off the shelf time nut quality Prescalers ?  Or would I be better off just buying something along the lines of a suitably equipped 53131A or 53132A ?  (If I end up buying another counter I would rather buy another universal counter I could use for time nuts stuff, vs simply buying a frequency counter for this application.)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
