[time-nuts] HP 3335A for the impoverished experimenter

[Rob Sherwood.]

The phase noise of the 3335A is typically much better than spec.  Definitely way better than a 3336C and has one of the worlds best laser-trimmed attenuators. The 8642A and 8662A are better on phase noise, but much harder to keep working. Anyone wanting a great signal generator should jump at this.
