[Test-Equipment] Re: Boonton RF millivolt meter probe wanted

[John Burch]

Hello John - 

Thanks very much for the reply to my WTB post for the Boonton
RF millivoltmeter probe.

Yes, in reading the manual I can understand with the need for
a probe with a serial number matching the meter itself to insure
calibration throughout the meter's ranges.

Unfortunately I have *no* probe whatsoever, and was hoping to 
hook up with someone who had a probe for a model 91 or 92 
(or similar) Boonton meter, yet had no meter to go with the probe.

I still hope that someone out there has a probe, or any of the probe
accessories to get me started.

Thanks de John
..
