Ok, question that hasn't been asked... What are you measuring frequency with and are you sure it is not drifting also? Many years ago I had something similar and eventually worked out that the experiment had a positive tempco and my "instrument" had a negative tempco. Much hair pulling while I figured that one out. -Denny --=20 http://www.piclist.com/techref/piclist PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
