Here's what I ended up with:

COARSE DAC : 105
DAC GAIN: 1200.00
EFC SCALE : 1.40
EFC DAMPING: 2
OCXO SLOPE : POSITIVE
TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION : 0.00
AGING COMPENSATION : 0.02744
PHASE CORRECTION : 35.000000

Here are some plots:

Everything is on an open work table right now, with the LPRO mounted on a
heatsink.  The baseplate of the LPRO is about 38C.  I have not tried too
much to adjust EFC damping either, it seemed that if it had more than 10 it
would become unstable.
