Re: [Amateur-repairs] Calibrating test equipment?

I also have a GPSDO reference for the RF related stuff. Also a vintage rubidium standard that I drag out once in a while. It may be old but it got me into the green box in a couple of FMTs. But as Mike says, having gear to cross check with is a good idea. The higher end equipment that is falling into many of our hands now is usually known to hold cal very well. At least well enough for Ham work. If you can afford two having one or two high end pieces calibrated to serve as your standards you can use the cheaper stuff as your daily drivers.
