[SADXA] Frequency Measurement Tests

[W7EXG (Bill)]

Hi Wes,

Fortunately, my fork is calibrated for 25.1256258973 deg C. 

No need for temp compensated fork. But constructing a good ambient air
regulator for the required temperature accuracy [with no temp gradients]
might be the challenge. :)

Okay, as long as it's a temperature-compensated tuning fork.  Gotta be
precise 
doncha you know.

Thanks for the kudo.  My problem now is that the only way to go is down. :-(

Plus, I've acquired another GPS disciplined oscillator so I'm a man with two

watches.
