[time-nuts] FE-5680A won't lock

[Chris Albertson]

Thosecurrent measurements look good.  It must be doing something
inside there.   I'd take it as an opportunity to swap it for a better
unit.   It will not cost much to mail it back if you use USPS.

Even if it could be adjusted to lock I'd worry that something was
reaching its aging limit or had past it already.
