[time-nuts] Motorola VC-TCXO

[Stan, W1LE]

I looked at them awhile and passed.

For 45$ and maybe S/H I can get an ovenized xtal oscillator ISOTEMP OCXO
that is probably 3+ orders of magnitude better in accuracy/stability.
Good at 12V DC also. Some with voltage control requiring only an 
external pot
for fine tuning.

So a search on Ebay.
