[time-nuts] FA-2 Precision Frequency Counter BG7TBL 20190622

[djl]

Looked around at specs. I don't know that I can believe .01 HZ at 6 
GHz??? Is that approx 10^-11?? even with gpsdo reference and 10 sec 
gate.
But even so, there are possibilities for this device.  I, too, will have 
to downsize my boatanchors someday soon.
