         Years ago, Ralph SANSERINO and/or John 
KOLB manufactured digital readout units (0.1) for 
the FRG-7 and possibly some analog receivers, as 
I recall. Not certain if we carried them at Radio 
West (mute point as they're out of business), but 
they were around for a while. Back then, a 
read-out to xxx.1 kHz was a big deal.

         By the time I was on Okinawa for my 
first all-expense paid tour (1976-79), 
Charlie-san (as in Taylor) had hooked me up with 
a PFM unit that continued to work throughout my 
3+ years on The Rock of Japan, despite my 
recurring drooling problem, hi. Readout was 
xxx.001 kHz, and I still have my logs somewhere around here.
