[time-nuts] Spectracom 8164 Hack?

[paul swed]

Reasonable opens all kinds of doors.
The recvr is pretty simple so if it were 100 KC there would be a big 100KC
xtal.
That gets replaced with a 60 Khz and away you go.
However I think that switch selects sampling from an input reference so
would thinks its actually 60Khz
Regards
Paul.
