Hi To answer your OCXO question:
The so called 34310-T is a double oven. It should be stable over some range (say 0 to 70 or -20 to 70) to about 0.1 to 0.5 ppb p-p. Trimble seems to like +12 on it so one would guess that +12 +/- 5% stable to +/- 0.5% should be fine. They seem to use it in open air / moving air. Assuming you are inside that sort of temperature and voltage range, then no, it should not oscillate thermally. Anything can be broken and if it is you should see the oven current going nuts.
