David we may be drifting from Hals thread. So don't want to do that.
I looked at the system and its governed by the xtal they use. Granted its
cheap and totally in an uncontrolled environment. Mine typically is +.79
ppm at 1 Mhz. Semi consistent. Its really easy to bypass that xtal and to
inject some higher quality source and reap those benefits. They have little
pads and such to allow it.
