I don't understand that. Why can't I build a high Q TCXO? I don't need to
change the compensation very fast. Are good crystals high enough Q that it
would take too long?
What's the time constant? I'd guess it's Q/freq, maybe with factors of 2pi
or e or ???
That seems small relative to how fast temperature changes. (but maybe fast
relative to FCC smearing or things like that)
