Mark,

Is this really true? What is the typical tempco of parts outside
the oven? Compared to the spec'd tempco of the OCXO itself.

In holdover mode, the tempco of the GPS receiver and the
phase comparator have no effect. Maybe just the DAC tempco
is all that's left?

Does anyone know if 58503/Z3801-series has a temperature
sensor?
