That is because the 465 (I have one) was USABLE to 100 MHz, but FLAT to 60
MHz. So not being
flat to 100 is no surprise. They were sold concurrently.
I also have a 475A which is flat to 350 MHz, which I dearly love. It has faster
sweep speeds and
more vertical sensitivity, but it doesn't have the frequency response of the
lower gain settings. I
can look at a low output dynamic mic with it with ease.
I prefer the switches on the 465 to the 465B. (mainly the bandwidth switch) I
have used both
extensively and I have detected no triggering differences.
