Bob,
Alas, I suspect you've hit the nail on the head. I'll probably wind
up replacing the oscillator with something similar that I can make
work. While I've got some pretty good counters in the racks in my
workshop, the 5300B is a handy little counter to schlep around for
low frequency work. Beside, it's lighter than the rack mounted counters.
Thanks,
Burt, K6OQK
