Thanks Bob;
It would be great if these are all cal issues. The offset is most likely calibration related, but I will be surprised if the jitter in a cal issue. It is certainly possible. I am thinking a weak/noisy cap.

My experience is that most counter monitoring their external reference will be stable to one count with only an occasional larger jump. Magnus told me he has a SR620 that has the same instability problem, and that he heard this is a common problem for these units. Has anyone else encounter this problem? And of course the 2 dollar question, does anyone know how to repair this issue?
