content: Heya people,Finally starting to clear up and empty my "TO BE FIXED" box.. First patient on the table is a hand held multi functional counter branded Fluke 164H, but all PCBs are Philips labeledIt's a pretty nifty device, having two counter channels up to 160MHz, with a scope-like feature and a third counter channel up to 2.7GHz.Here is some (combined?) issue with channels A and B. Both channels report that the input signal is clipped, even without any signal present on the input. This leads me to believe that there is a common denominator between channels A & B.I have a hard time finding any service-like documentation for this counter. Has anyone come across any service documentation for these counters? Maybe an alternative model name from Philips? Even a block diagram will be of help

content: I have a service manual for the Fluke 163/164 including schematics. I would need to scan it first. Let me know if you still require it?Regards,Peter

content: Okay, uploaded to all three, although it will take a while until you can download them: however long it takes the people running the sites to get around to checking the upload and moving it to the right place.

content: Hi Tony,Apologies, I have only just realized that when I scanned the manual, none of the "even" pages scanned! I will rescan, this time paying more attention to what is scanned.The calibration code listed in the manual is 62 951 413. To enter the code, the manual says "position the cursor on a digit, then press select to select it. Repeat the procedure for each digit and finish with Enter". I haven't tried it myself so I hope it works.Regards,Peter
