[time-nuts] Embarrassing stuff...

[David Hooke]

OK.

This MV89 is mounted on a PCB with SMA connectors for the EFC, REF and 
10MHz. I connected the EFC from the TB to the REF out of the oscillator, 
not for very long, and things haven't been quite right since then.

I should not play in the workshop after drinking wine with dinner!

It'll be interesting to see how Trimble designed the DAC. There doesn't 
seem to be much more than a 4V reference, a quad opamp and a bunch of 
RCs. I guess that as long as it's monotonic, accuracy is not overly 
important.

Cheers.
