Undoubtedly.  Already, the manufacturer of that as yet unreleased other 
box is making claims about how the user ot that box won't lose 
arguments over frequency.  I'm trying to recall the last time I was on the 
air arguing over whether I was on 7989.993or 7989.9932 Khz    ....

If I really cared, I'd use my counter with it's GPS-stabilized time-base, and 
beat either radio by 3 or 4 orders or magnitude :-)

But it's bound to happen, and the inevitable arguments over numbers (of 
any consequence or not) are just lurking around the corner :-)
