In the old days, HP/Agilent made microwave frequency counters.
One of the main competitors was EIP, which was located a few
miles away.  A key R&D manager defected to EIP and eventually
Agilent stopped making microwave counters and instead resold
EIP counters.  I'm not surprised to hear the same thing is
going on with SRS, also a few miles away.
