Brooke, don't know if this will be of any help as you're looking at your 4060 (and it may or may not be of any interest to the group as a whole) but I'm about 15 days into what I hope will be long-term monitoring of my two 5061As and one 5065A against GPS. I'm using a setup that should be parti

Hi Tom: I think the problem is related to the FTS4060. During the brown out my computer and the SR620 counter reset, but the two green LEDs on the 4060 stayed on, at the time my thought was "cool". But the yellow "Align" light behind the door has turned on and so far I have not been able to
