This scale factor is clearly wrong - using it and applying an appropriate 
correction changes the frequency way too much.

From:

   http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.time.nuts/9473/match=fe+5680+pin+outs

(thanks Jose!) a better estimate is 140000 / Hz.

Using data after 20 hours:

   http://www.c-c-i.com/node/155

the estimated frequency offset is 1.36E-3 Hz.  Using the above scale factor 
gives a correction of -190 counts.  Here is the command I used to (temporarily) 
program the new offset:

   2e 09 00 27 ff ff ff 42 bd

(the bd is the exclusive-or checksum of the offset)

Now I wait ...
