There's no particular reason that a GPS carrier phase disciplined OCXO
need be particularly expensive unless of course it incorporates an
Oscilloquartz 8607 with ultra low adev specs.
Suitable receivers seem to be readily available. The only major
complication is the need to phase lock their local oscillator to the
OCXO being disciplined. In some case this is easy as a 10<Hz crystal is
used.
You've misinterpreted the statement 2E-11/Tau actually means:
2E-11 @ 1 sec
2E-12 @ 10sec
2E-13 @100 sec
