I think that the external or internal locking to a stable 10 MHz source is probably of a higher priority for UHF and Microwave users, as well as JT65 and other EME'rs, than a less than highly stable internal 2M xvrtr. A small, external phase locked LO, 2M xvrtr box or module, that can be driven by the common 10MHz stable source, is also doable. This also has the advantage that if 2 M is not immediately needed it can be turned off, or left a home, in the interest of power savings .
I've bought some 10 MHz double oven OCXO modules from an offshore surplus dealer, with good results, for $38 shipped. They claim 2 X10 -12 and the brand name is C-Max. Ideal for phase locked LOs. Google "Flyingbest's Equipment" (also on EBay) for a list of their sale items. Delivery has been less than 10 days.
