[time-nuts] FA-2 Counter Questions

[Richard Solomon]

I joined the crowd and bought
one. I have a couple of questions
I hope someone can answer.

First, the display alternates between
a * reading and a P reading.

My input is my Trimble GPSDO.

The * reading is 10 000 000.000 00,
while the P reading is 9 999 000.000 00.

The manual I received says the "P"
is "Precision", doesn't seem that precise.

Then the * reading seems to switch between
10 000 000.000 00 and 9 999 999.118 49.

I can get 3 - 5 readings of 10.0 in a row
then 1 or 2 readings of the 9.999.

Any idea what is happening here ?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
