[time-nuts] FE-5680A sweep range setting

[Ed Palmer]

I also have a 5680A with that strange little board.  On a hunch, I 
disconnected the orange wire and injected a DC voltage into the main 
board.  It caused the frequency to change.  I don't know if it's the 
C-field control or another mechanism, but the result is the same.
