freq counter?

[Martin Czech]

50ppm is the result of the built in quartz tolerance, I think there is a "pull"
capacitor trim to trim the resonance frequency...

Lowest display: I have to check that at home.

Problem: I work for the company at daytime, and at night I run
the companys advertising stand at the Freiburg Zelt Music Festival.


I'll need some time for the reply...

email: I think I ordered the stuff via their web page, 
I phoned them severall times, quite friendly people...

m.c.

:::Hmm, looks realy nice, 50ppm is really OK in most cases.

:::How low does it meaure?
:::milli hz plus a couple of decimals?
