Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about time-and-frequency test equipment sales and rentals at Techmaster Electronics.
What brands of time-and-frequency equipment does Techmaster sell?
We carry Microsemi (Microchip), Symmetricom, Stanford Research, Pendulum, Keysight, Meinberg, Trimble, Holzworth, Quartzlock, and Spectracom — new, refurbished, and rental inventory.
Can I rent a cesium clock or GPS reference for a project?
Yes. Cesium and GPS-DO references are popular short-term rentals for synchronization testing, audits, and field calibration. Same-week dispatch; 30-day minimum on Microsemi 5071A and hydrogen masers.
Is the equipment calibrated before it ships?
Yes. Every counter, reference, and phase-noise analyzer ships with a current ISO/IEC 17025 accredited certificate (ANAB Cert AC-1736) and UTC(USNO) / NIST traceability.
Do you offer trade-in credit for old frequency counters and references?
Yes. We accept HP 5370B, Agilent 53132A, Stanford SR620, and similar legacy gear for trade-in credit against current models.
What is the typical lead time for in-stock units?
In-stock counters and GPS-DO references ship within 1–2 business days. Cesium clocks ship same-week from US stock when available. New OEM orders run 8–16 weeks for cesium standards.
