I followed fellow time-nut Gotz method of replacing the z3805 with the z3811 in Ulrich's Z3811 program and it works very well. All of the stats seem to be working on the Lucent 24361. I kind of wonder about doing the same for the crystal oscillator as its a Z3812 if there is any usefulness to

One way to somewhat decouple the channels cross-talk could be do delay one of them with a coax cable. This will make the cross-talk of the early channel die out pretty much before the next edge come. With two asynchronous sources you will sweep over the repeating pattern of cross-talk and

We had that issue with the 5335A at work, and replacing the relay did the trick. 5335A is still the counter which is easiest to use, even if it doesn't have stellar performance, but usually that is not needed. Where did you find the Service Note? Cheers, Magnus On 12/28/2014 06:06 AM, Orin
