Hi

You have a first order, second order and third order coefficient to the temperature rate dependance
on a crystal.  Since the second order term is a square, it does not care about the sign of the 
rate.

IOW, if I somehow have the same temperature ramp over the same time period in both directions, will I wind up with the same frequency and phase, or will the frequency revert but at some phase difference?
