Handheld was never specified directly, just “stood with a” which can just mean “next to.”

The HP 5061 was introduced in 1964, why do you think a counter that can reference the frequency standard is not possible?

You might want to be more rigorous about reading specifications.

The HP 5061 is not a handheld stopwatch, at best it's a counter top luggable.

> why do you think a counter that can reference the frequency standard is not possible?

How on earth did you strawman my thinking to reach that bogus conclusion?

You might want to be more rigorous about reading comments and projecting.
