Yep, 3586B put me in the top list two times I used it along with a calibrated SpectrumLab + PC combo. I’d like to use my IC-7610 this time, have to figure all that out I guess as the April test rapidly approaches UTC time I remember now. Regards, Jerry > On Mar 29, 2018, at 5:21 AM, John

Greetings to all of the time-nuts on this list. I too have an interest (obsession?) with precision frequency measurement. I have known, visited and had dinner with Perry Sandeen (also a list member) while he lived in Tennessee where we shared a common interest in the beloved R-390A receiver and
