As far as I can tell by looking at the release notes and the settings
in Timelab itself, none of the Racal-Dana counters are directly
supported which is unfortunate because my best counter is a 1992 that
I rebuilt.

Timelab and the Racal-Dana 1991/1992 both support talk only mode
though so maybe that will work.  Check page 4-20 of the Racal-Dana
manual.
