5-7 digit up/down counter with display

Sam, I thought that Velleman made a kit that would do your bidding, but it seems that their up/down counter kit is for low speed (switch) inputs... only 200 counts per second. Red Lion Controls makes a 10KHz presettable counter; I see those infrequently on Ebay, usually in the $40 - $80 range. I remember servicing some HP presettable counters a number of years ago, and I know that one of those would easily work for you, but a quick search on Ebay turned up nothing. Neither Ramseykits nor any of the other kit makers have anything useful. So it seems, at first glance, that your ICM7217 solution might be the most expedient.

Yeah, even the ICM7217 may be marginal. I see it's only guaranteed to

2 MHz, though 5 MHz typical. It's not that there is a need for a sustained count rate above that, but I can't guarantee that two clocks won't occur quite close together.

Thanks for thinking about it. :)
