Yes; but the trim pot is also there because one has to set the basic clock to
one of two values, depending on whether one wants the 150/.../2400
selections, or the 110/etc selections; one has to set it to 26 usec for the
former, and 35.5 usec for the latter.
So drift would have been an issue, but not initial component values...
