[time-nuts] Ublox M8N - have I a XO or TCXO ?

[EB4APL]

TCXO is not an OCXO, they don't have an oven. They compensate the 
temperature induced drift using a temperature sensor, a microcontroller  
and a table or parameter set for adjusting the output frequency. BTW, 
for some applications they are unsuitable as they adjust the frequency 
in steps.
