The '''DC508A''' version (1980) extended the frequency range to 1.3 GHz.
The [[DC508A]] version (1980) extended the frequency range to 1.3 GHz.


Both the DC508 and the DC508A use off-the-shelf divide-by-4 counter ICs as the prescaler.
{{BeginSpecs}}
The DC508 uses a [[Motorola MC1697]] (Tek part number 156-0923-00), which is rated to 1 GHz.
{{Spec | Frequency Range | 0–100 MHz direct (15 mV<sub>RMS</sub>, 1 MΩ // 25 pF), gate times 1 ms to 10 s in decade steps; 100 MHz – 1 GHz via prescaler (20 mV<sub>RMS</sub>, 50 Ω input, fused), gate times 8 ms to 8 s in decade steps }}
The DC508A uses a [[Plessey SP8611B]] (Tek part number 156-1302-01), which is rated to 1.5 GHz.
