Time as in minutes, or as in a couple of days? If you look at the plot in the 
QEX article, a day or so is the expected "warmup" period.

If it's + *and* - then the gizmo is driving down the middle of the road. If 
it's always + or always - then it's likely not yet locked.

The UT needs to be in "position hold" mode with a proper (24 to 48 hour) survey 
on it's location for best performance. It should not be +/- 100 ns even without 
this. 

Is your VCXO a 10811? Does it have the same sensitivity as a 10811? If not, you 
may need (per the article) to make some firmware changes.
