Bruce,

I'm not sure I follow this. Yes, you will see a phase shift but
how can you tell how much of said shift is due to a fixed
phase shift (as if it were cable phase tempco) vs. how much
is due to phase shift due to frequency offset (as if it were
oscillator frequency tempco)? No change in temperature is
instantaneous; during the (slow) change both phase and
frequency (equals phase change over time) may change.
