After replacing the GPS module in Z3801A #2, I fired it up and let it

dramatically. Later, it started back down, Other than a high HUP,
everything else looked good. What would cause this to happen?

I have two Z3801A's and one behaves in a very similar pattern upon warming up from being unpowered for long stretches.Mine is a little more extreme even went from "near zero) to about -5e-7 then back up to +1e-6, before settling down. My theory is that it is a function of the particular xtal in the TCXO . My unit even has that same little sawtooth bump in in the EFC value ( just after 0200 in your graph) as well Compared to my other unit it also takes it several days longer to reach a long term holdover stability of less than 3ms


Both of my units have been through the VP-Oncore change out...swapping the receivers between the units did not change the curve particularly the one with the wide swing stayed that way regardless of which receiver I had in it
