Adjustment of the reference oscillator is critical for proper radio operation.
Improper adjustment will not only result in poor operation, but also a misaligned
radio that will interfere with other users operating on adjacent channels. For this
reason, the reference oscillator should be checked every time the radio is serviced.
The frequency counter used for this procedure must have a stability of 0.1 ppm (or
better).
