Hello Mike,

I have looked at Pt IV with a wm250 and aspect 3000 with a broad-band
10mm probe. We have a 0.7M Na2Cl6, 0.15M NaPtCl6 in D2O and get a nice
peak with about 16 scans. I use the standard formula for calculating the
synth. freq.. I use a wide sweepwidth. I will get the parameters later
and send them to you.
