         Tom, that has been corrected
in the online version.  I don't recall it in
my '98 vintage manual either so your
warning about the 2002 revision sounds
right.

         From the Vf (p 21) and DTF (p 17)
procedures of the online manual:

3.) Tune the analyzer higher or lower in frequency until the Impedance 
meter reads the very next impedance
minimum, and where reactance displayed on the LCD again crosses zero. A 
non-zero minimum of a few
ohms is acceptable.

                         73,  Bill  W4ZV
