George,
Yes! From "day one" Gerald has always said that the 5K is an "electronic
instrument." I've never found reason to disagree!

Subject: [FlexEdge] F5K impressive as a frequency measuring tool
I participated in a frequency measuring test Thursday night using my F5K.
Prior to making each of three measurements I calibrated the F5K using the
builtin calibration, then using a narrow filter in DSB, watched the scope
to look for zero beat of the signal to be measured. (The F5K was only on
for a couple of minutes, so not sure of the stability in my environment.)
The F5K is impressive as a frequency measuring instrument. My measurements
were all within a Hertz.
One of the important factors is that the audio chain will pass through
sub-hertz audio to the built in scope, another is that it's easy to set up
a narrow audio filter to remove noise.
