Hi One of the biggest issues in all this is that while a group of OCXO’s may have some similar characteristics, they most certainly will not all have the *same* characteristics. This one is at 5x10^-13 at 1 second and the next one out of the box is at 5x10^-12 at 1 second.
On top of that, your GPSDO may not have the luxury of continuous operation. Most commercial designs are targeted at “this level of holdover” after “that number of hours on power”. You might get 72 hours on power, you also might be required to do it all after 24 hours. Finally, the operating environment may be nicely controlled in one case and really horrible in the next case. This one is in a nice cave and the next one is in an unheated garage. Very much not a “one size fits all” sort of thing.
