Hi
Since many interesting sources are at 5 or 10 MHz, the magic of the 5313x in
frequency mode goes away. They don't get much processing gain when the source
and reference have edges at the same place. Stick with time measurements for
ADEV.

So the 16x manual says. As far as I know, all of the Garmin LVC, HVC,
and 5Hz versions of their receivers have a timing pulse output.
The GPS18 series that I have was replaced by the GPS18x series.
Some of their receivers have TIA-232-F (RS-232)

You all were right, my targeting of the 50 ohm resistor
across the oscillator output does not seem to have solved the
problem. A good thing to do, probably, but not the answer.
While I was all excited about the resistor change I also
mapped out the control voltage (EFC) vs frequency change.

Hold the Up arrow down for 3 sec and put your counter into the 10 sec
range.
That will give you another digit of resolution. Now the LS Digit will be
1e-10 / count enough to test short term delta stability of many things.

Hi
On a normal 10811, you should see at least +/- 1 Hz change. It should go
from 10,000,001.xx to 9,999,999.xx. That of course assumes the counter
reference is right on frequency. Since it may not be, it's the 2 Hz delta
between +5V and -5V you need to spot first.
Right now you data shows 0.1

This says your EFC circuit is not working, and you are only
getting 0.05 Hz frequency change across the -5 to +5 EFC range.
The spec on the HP10811 is 1.0 Hz minimum.
And, yes, in a counter the EFC circuit is not used, so no one would
know if it failed.
It is very simple circuit. The

Correct -- the small digit to the right is the exponent. As others

the 1992 will switch to a 10-second gate and give you one more digit
