Without terminating the cable in 50 ohms, you're getting reflections that the counter sees as additional peaks in time.

To see much at all one needs 12 digits of resolution.

Hi Mark,

I just tried a10 second gate, and it's still the same, though the 4.9999999 
happens less often.  Could it be related to the fact that this is a TTL signal? 
 If I don't set the 50 ohm Z button it counts double - i.e. 10MHz.

Slow the Gate time down.
