Crystal measurement 32MHz limit

[wa3off]

Hi Bob,

With the AIM4170, what limits crystal measurements to 32MHz? It seems that I can do a regular scan of higher-frequency crystals (I have a 40.5MHz crystal) and manually calculate the specs; am I missing something?

Hi Dave,
The 32 MHz limit goes back to the time when the AIM430 only went up to 32MHz. The limit didn't get changed when the hardware was upgraded.
I just emailed you an experimental version without this limit. See how this works.
