that is most likelly a TXCO, what is in the user's manual about warm up time? if they have a special precise reference -- like for spectrum analyzer or frequency counter that would have at least one magnitude better stability and would have OXCO,a good OXCO like the Milliren 260 series or the double oven oscillators from Morion [St Petersburg, Russia] ones --if they are always heated and have good power supply-- could have 3 x 10^-10 stability

The 10 MHz high stability oscillator (option 1D5) in my HP 8720D VNA
has the following specs

Stability
0 to 55 deg C, +-/ 0.05 ppm
Aging per year +/- 0.5 ppm

What sort of oscillator is this likely to be -  TCXO or OCXO?
