Good idea.
Per one of the other messages, I've reset the offending unit (in part
because I noticed that the antenna delay I programmed in to make it tick
50us early had disappeared; that might indicate that the thing had gone
through some sort of trauma). If that didn't cure it, I'll try the
scope idea.
