This might be slightly off-topic, but probably there is a time-nut who knows the answer.

I am trying to adjust the 10 MHz OCXO in a Cushman 5110 service monitor. I am using a frequency counter driven by a GPSDO. Perhaps someone can educate me about a couple problems I am encountering.

I tried making small incremental adjustments but after I am done, the frequency drifts several Hz and then re-stabilizes at a new value. When I make further adjustments, I notice strange behavior. For example, if I initially turned the adjustment clockwise to increase the frequency, it will now decrease if I turn it clockwise and increase if I turn it counter-clockwise. On the next adjustment, it will reverse again.

Is there some correct procedure to adjust an OCXO?

Many thanks for any suggestions.
