Richard,
  do you perhaps have any experience of using the Isotemp OCXO134-12 unit ?
I built a GPSDO using it, and it works rather well, were it not for a 
residual oscillation of the frequency of about +- 2E-11. i.e. +- 0.0002Hz
at 10MHz, with an oscillation period of about 7 minutes, which is too fast
to be corrected by the PI software loop.

I attributed it, lacking other explanations, to an imperfect temperature
control of the oven. Translated in temperature terms, that frequency
oscillation amounts to a change of about 0.18 degrees Celsius.

What you think about this ?  TNX
