I read over on the Z3801A site (forum) , that it seems like that GPS 
receiver oscillator would drift , wo. these shutdown/calibrate steps.
That would make the receiver drift and be more and more insensitive over 
time , and eventually loose sync.

This oscillator is not to be confused with the HP DOCXO.
