[time-nuts] Vectron Labs OCXOs Pin-out

[Steve Rooke]

Hi Bruce,

Many thanks for your help with this. It looks like some types of these
use 15V and others 24V. I received a PM from Bob Raker with the
following:

Both are 7 dBm output & 1 ppb/day aging

225-7639:  +24V supply - EFC: .3 ppm min for 0-6V, +/- 1 ppb for 15 to 35C

217-8364:  +15V supply - NO EFC, +/- 30 ppb for -20 to 70C.

In case anyone else was interested in this information.

Thanks,
Steve
