However, I own one of the first Omni VI's out the door (which came
with a
"temporary manual" because they had not yet printed the final
version). I
was never happy with the frequency stability. Every time I took it
back to
TT to have it "tweaked" or up-graded, I asked to have the frequency
readout
calibrated. It was always "within spec's", but it was never "right", at
least not after a few weeks had passed since re-calibration.
The first run of OMNI VI's had a lot of oven problems (I know of
several other guys who had them and these oven's tended to exhibit
"hunting" behavior among other things.) I had my oven replaced and it
has been solid ever since. I am sure the TCXO is great too.
