Couldn't this be automated for those with the K3EXREF? Since the K3EXREF is applying a "fudge factor" (technical term) based on the instantaneous error of the 49 MHz TXCO, one could "simply" read the correction and the front panel temp over a thermal "run". The data could then be massaged (another techinal term) internally, to come up with the tabular data needed. Yes?
