[time-nuts] 5372A questions

[VE7HR]

Thanks Magnus,
One the battery’s arrive I will run through the procedure.  

I found another person on the web who said he only did section 3-30.  I will run the complete process.  

The first few tested I did almost looked to good to be true.  It will have to do until I find another counter.  

Appreciate the help.  

Thanks
Dave
