M Dynatel 9. 65. DSP Cable Tester. The best of its generation. If youre still working in old copper plant then you still need a good quality meter to get the job done. The 9. 65. DSP is still the boss in this environment. It doesnt have to be this version. A version 5 or 6 will suffice. The version 7 has a bit more flexibility in the ranging of the TDR. The only other importance of the version is they type of FED youre using. I use the FED2 which requires the later version Dynatel. How does it compare to other metersThe JDSU HST3. M stopped building the Dynatel 9. There is support for repairs from a number of independent shops.

So decide which version best suites your needs. Fluke Dsp 100 Software' title='Fluke Dsp 100 Software' />The HST3. Given the HST3. 00. DSL testing the question comes up why bother keeping the old DSP in the truck Some of the reasons for keeping it are similar to why you keep a favorite pair of loafers in your closet.

Fluke Dsp 100 Software' title='Fluke Dsp 100 Software' />Its familiar and comfortable to use. It is faster than the HST3. Speed aside it is still the results of the test that takes on the most importance. This is where the old Dynatel absolutely kills the HST3. Both meters will get you close to the problem. Fluke Dsp 100 Software' title='Fluke Dsp 100 Software' />Lets say Im testing a 7. The problem is a ring ground. The RFL function of both meters will get me close to the problem on the initial test. But the HST3. 00. Dynatel says 2. 8,4. On the first test that is close enough. As I focus in on the shorter loop within that range the test results shouldnt vary. But they do. And my Dynatel is always more accurate than my HST3. The same applies to looking for open conductors. A nod is given to the HST3. TDR. Ive never used a more accurate TDR than the JDSU meter. But Im working mostly in loaded rural cable. The TDR cant see past a load with either meter. The accuracy of the open meter portion of the tester is more important to me. They Dynatel allows me to set specific parameters that the JDSU does not. The Dynatel wins this contest. While I was not privy to how these companies did their field testing I can say that someone from 3. M must have taken their meter outside and had some plant techs try it out. The 9. 65. DSP is well balanced and the test leads are on the bottom. The HST3. 00. 0 is top heavy and has the leads coming out the top. The Dynatel has a well designed case for working outdoors. The HST3. 00. 0 has a case perfect for working indoors with a flat surface readily available. Thats not my world. Im close to retirement so the Dynatel and I will probably sail off into the sunset together. The younger techs will be using the HST3. Thats not a bad thing by any means. If youre only carrying one meter on the truck then the HST3. Personally Im still happy to have the Dynatel. Im no Don Mc. Carty but I still get a lot of work done with this meter. Read full review.
