[time-nuts] 5061a now look at wrong freq A1 fault

[John Miles]

I think the best policy re: initial setup of the 5061A is to follow the
manual.  There are clear instructions on how to set the beam current and
second harmonic indications and tune the OCXO to find the central peak.  If
it is locked but not exactly at 5 MHz, either your C-field is grossly off,
or (more likely) you are tuned to a side peak.  But the beam current should
be verified before worrying about that.
