[time-nuts] Motorola KXN1132AA

Other leads may include an EFC input.

As long as the oscillator frequency can be adjusted electronically
(usually via EFC) it can be disciplined.
If the oscillator lacks EFC then you may have to resort to using it in a
DDS or equivalent so that the output frequency can be adjusted.
The only drawbacks with a DDS are the spurs and elevated phase noise.
If you use a DDS the control system output must be digital, however an
EFC DAC isn't required.
There are techniques available for canceling spurs and/or reducing their
amplitudes significantly however these techniques add some complexity.

Can you post an image of the oscillator?
