[time-nuts] OCXO Voltage Input?

[dan at irtelemetrics.com]

The schematic provided shows two 20K resistors in series with the 
varactor. So, yes there is some RC time constant. But is it enough to 
filter our 100Hz or 1Khz, or 100Khz? I'll have to pull out the 
calculator. The other issue, is I don't know how my OCXO is built. No 
schematic. 

Also, don't forget, this is time nuts. Better is better, is it not? :)
