Scott, It doesn't look like AT-cut. AT-cut oven crystals are run at their upper turnover point, which is a minimum, so the frequency starts high from power up at normal room temperature. With SC-cut, the f/T curve is shifted to the right and they are operated at their lower turnover point (a

I'm curious if an OCXO has an SC or AT cut crystal in it. There's no EFC, so I can't measure sensitivity. I did measure the frequency change from cold startup, thinking that an SC cut would stabilize quicker than an AT. I don't have a good AT OCXO to compare against, but I do have a Morion
