Hi, I need a chip but stable 26MHz reference, so  I plan to use VE2ZAZ circuit with  a 26MHz VCTCXO (7x5mm module).
I noticed that if I feed 26MHz to thePIC, the 16bit counter will overflow. I don't want to use any dividers between the VCTCXO and the PIC.
So my idea was to change the 16sec period to 8sec and modify the 16bit counter value accordingly.

Is it enough that I change the following line to " MOVLW .4 "     ?

        MOVLW .8                                    ;Is 2-second timer counter at 8 (16 seconds elapsed)?

Will the Montrol software function properly with this change in PIC firmware, will it show correct values of stability etc...?
