Hi Mike -- Tom's plots at http://www.leapsecond.com/pages/z3801a-osc/ show 13 Z3801As running in unlocked mode, measured against one of his most excellent references. So I think that plot shows what you're looking for. I was just trying to show what you get when you are running in the normal locked condition (my units almost never go into holdover, so I was more interested in what the normal behavior was).
One thing that's not clear from Tom's page, though, is whether the units were in "smart" holdover mode (ie, no GPS signal but the CPU still steering based on its learned aging curve) or truly freestanding with no EFC being applied.
