Carlos,
I will do that when I get into the shop tomorrow. From your suggestion,I found 
these two other things I can look for in the frequency counter:
1.  https://www.eham.net/ehamforum/smf/index.php/topic,26529.0.html
2.  The digital whining from DL1CYP's Ten-Tec 544:

Thanks,
Lyman, KK6LPW

mmm... digital noise from the frequency counter?

Can you cut the DC suply to that module and tell us what happens?

across all bands and it is in the background. It measures about 1khz and
will vary harmonically when I slowly turn the VFO thus changing the 100s
hertz digit in the display. The waveform changes back and forth between a
sinusoidal and a rough sawtooth. I can mask this tone by turning up the Rf
gain but its still there. It is pronounce when the Rf gain is turned down.
