[time-nuts] Input filter for data logger

[Neil]

I have four MV89As.  Two are excellent and run at a case temp around 
43C/110F.  One tends to jump frequency when you move it, it also sits 
around 43C/110F  though. The final one has a broken temp controller.  
Mounted inside a large block of expanded polstyrene insulation, it 
reached 92C/198F before I realised something was not right.

The best MV89A has been running continuously for 18 months and has 
drifted LF by 1.2ppb in that time, compared with two GPSDOs and the 
GB3MHZ GPS-locked beacon on 1296.830MHz

The two bad ones were cheap and were still soldered to bits of hacksawed 
PCB.
