[time-nuts] HP 10811 stabilizing time

[Dave M]

C12 and C15 on the support board are for peaking the multiplier/amplifier 
for the external standard input.  The unit accepts 1MHz, 5MHz or 10MHz for 
the external reference frequency.  The capacitors tune the external input to 
10MHz for the counter to use as the reference.

Cheers,
Dave M
