Hi Any of the “typical” surplus GPSDO’s should be able to hold 10 us over 24 hours. That’s the CDMA spec that the market was looking for when they were manufactured. With a big hunky OCXO pulling lots of watts (and a few other issues), I doubt they are going to work in this case.
==== 15 minutes is 900 seconds. 1 ms at 1,000 seconds is (quite nicely) a 1 ppm frequency offset. That gets you out of the world of a bare crystal oscillator. It does not present much of a challenge for a typical TCXO. Unfortunately a lot of low end GPS gizmos have a crystal rather than a TCXO in them. They might “learn” the frequency offset while locked. Who knows if they do that ….It seems like a lot of effort on their part for a feature that nobody ever looks at.
