You can get another couple of digits for frequency out of the 5335A by
setting the gate longer... I use about 2 o'clock on the Gate Adj. pot.

My 5335A is now reading 9 999 999.96 for both LTE Lite and Trimble
Thunderbolt.  It must be coming on 4 years since Joe/KN5U adjusted the OCXO
in the 5335A, so its drift seems well within spec.
